It is the astronomical observation version of the ShortTube 80 achromatic refractor (the \"-A\" is for Astronomy).\n\u003cp\u003eThe Short-Tube 80-A is a very compact, wide-field astro telescope that you can take with you to your favorite dark sky location with ease. The 80 mm objective lens, short 400 mm (f\/5) focal length, and wide field of view make this scope ideal for viewing large deep-sky objects. These may include star clusters, nebulae, and even galaxies! You can also take detailed looks at the cratered surface of the Moon, Saturn's rings, and other solar system targets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ST80-A's doublet objective lens is multi-coated to give you excellent light transmission. It is housed in an all-aluminum 15\" long tube that is equipped with a 1.25\" rack-and-pinion focuser on one end and an aluminum dew shield on the other end. This dew shield extends more than 3\" out from the lens, preventing dew formation and blocking off-axis glare. This telescope comes with two 1.25\" Sirius Plossl eyepieces - 25 mm and 10 mm - which produce 16x and 40x power (respectively), as well as a 90-degree mirror diagonal (1.25\"). Both the eyepiece and diagonal barrels are threaded for optional Orion eyepiece filters. The large 8 x 40 finder scope will ensure that you can locate and center your target with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ShortTube 80-A also includes two felt-lined, hinged tube rings and a Vixen-style dovetail mounting plate, giving you the option to attach the telescope to the compatible mount of your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EMCAWwsvKG0\" height=\"460\" width=\"500\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Orion ShortTube 80-A achromatic refractor telescope is back - a wonderful grab and go telescope to introduce your whole family to the wonders of the night sky!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-coated optics give you maximum light throughput for bright views of deep-sky and solar system objects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 90-degree mirror star diagonal, two Sirius Plossl eyepieces, tube rings, and a Vixen-style dovetail mounting bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShortTube 80 OTA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8x40 finder scope with bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube rings, pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDovetail bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25mm Sirius Plossl eyepiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10mm Sirius Plossl eyepiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90-degree mirror star diagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Orion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68112243818645,"sku":"fwa1793400079509","price":158.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/6632\/6421\/files\/orion-st80-a-refractor-astro-version-w-no-case_1.png?v=1793400093","url":"https:\/\/nestingcontainer.shop\/products\/orion-st80-a-refractor-astro-version-w-no-case","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
