SkyWatcher Startravel-80T (80/400) refractor OTA with Red dot finder, tube rings only
The Horizont 80 (or 80/400 Sky-Watcher) is a real travelscope because of its extremely short tube. The 8cm objective lens gathers enough light for low light conditions and astronomical purposes. The AZ-3 mount is optimized for daytime use as well, and provides slow motion controls on both axes, while the aluminium legs provide better stability than the other tripods. The telescope can be well used for observing the Moon, planets or brighter stellar clusters. The two Barium eyepieces included provide 20x and 40x magnification.
This small telescope is a real alternative to spotting scopes. No limitations on photographic possibilities, and also the fixed zoom range can be easily exceeded. By using the 8-24mm zoom eyepiece (optional accessoire) this scope can be converted to a 17-50x80 spotting scope.
