Skywatcher STARTRAVEL 80 AZ3

For extensive star fields and comets, the Skywatcher StarTravel 80 with AZ3 alt-azimuth mount is a good choice for observers seeking a simple and easy-to-use telescope for astronomy as well as terrestrial observation. It is especially recommended for comets, nebulae, and open star clusters.

The achromatic optical tube of the StarTravel 80/400 is suitable for both astronomical and terrestrial observations. The 80 mm diameter lens can reveal the most distant points of the universe, while its short focal length makes this telescope ideal for stunning wide-field viewing. Its resolving power reaches 1.14 arcseconds, providing a more detailed view when observing planets.

Additionally, it offers three-dimensional views of the Andromeda Galaxy or the Orion Nebula, with its vast optical field providing unique observational experiences.

Features and equipment:

• Highly portable: The optical tube weighs 1.5 kg and the telescope only 5 kg.
• Metal focuser with locking screw.
• Thread T2 for camera connection (a Baionette-type ring is required for your camera model).
• Multiple coatings on the optics for very high contrast.
• AZ3 alt-azimuth mount with tripod and micro-movement in two axes.
• Useful photographic thread for attaching camera or binoculars.
