Description
Orion ED80T CF Triplet Apochromatic Refractor Telescope is a marvel of modern astronomy equipment, designed to bring the cosmos to your backyard with unparalleled clarity and precision. This telescope is engineered with a triplet apochromatic lens system, which includes one element of high-quality extra-low dispersion (ED) glass, reducing chromatic aberration to nearly zero. The result is breathtaking views of the night sky with sharp, high-contrast images that are true to color.
The fast f/6 focal ratio is a boon for astrophotographers, allowing for shorter exposure times and a wide field of view to capture the sprawling beauty of nebulae and galaxies. With an 80mm aperture, the telescope gathers enough light to reveal the delicate details of distant celestial objects, making it an excellent choice for both deep-sky and solar system observations.
Constructed with a carbon fiber optical tube, the Orion ED80T CF is not only stylish but also lightweight and durable, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of travel and frequent use. The dual-speed (11:1) 2″ Crayford focuser provides fine control over focus, essential for achieving the perfect shot or observing session.
The retractable dew shield is another thoughtful feature, protecting your view from peripheral light pollution and condensation, extending your time under the stars. When retracted, the telescope becomes highly portable, fitting into your life and adventures without hassle.
Whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or a curious beginner, the Orion ED80T CF Triplet Apochromatic Refractor Telescope offers a user-friendly experience without compromising on quality or performance. It’s a gateway to the stars, providing an inspiring and accessible way to explore the universe.”
This telescope is a testament to Orion’s commitment to quality and the pursuit of stellar excellence, making it a cherished tool for anyone passionate about the night sky.
