Celestron C80 EDR
The C80 EDR comes on a heavy-duty German Equatorial mount with ultra-sturdy 2" stainless steel legs and center tray for superior rigidity and vibration dampening. The new German Equatorial mount has precision worm gears on both axes for extremely smooth performance. The key element that makes this system the most stable in its class is the NEW heavy-duty tripod with larger and more substantial legs that offer excellent damping characteristics for more stable views. The CG-5 also has a convenient latitude scale for easier alignment and an optional polar finder scope for the ultimate in precision alignments.
The C80 EDR is packed with great features and
excellent optics including our high quality ED glass. The refractor style
80ED (APO) features a 2" rack and pinion focuser and has a bracket that can
adapt to a photo tripod. ED glass provides excellent color correction and
razor sharp images and virtually eliminates chromatic aberration usually
seen during planetary and lunar viewing. With a focal length of 600mm
(f/7.5) the 80ED refractor is well suited for wide field astrophotography as
well as nature photography. This telescope comes complete with a 20mm 1.25"
eyepiece, erect image diagonal and 6x30 finderscope.
