Telescope OPTICON StarRider 80F400EQ

A telescope for those who want to see more. The most important parameter of a telescope is not the magnification (which is often mistakenly called "zoom"), but the diameter, which means that the larger the diameter, the more light the telescope collects, and the more objects and details it can see. Larger diameters also allow higher magnifications.

This telescope has a refractor with a diameter as large as 80 mm, which is already capable of looking at deep sky objects. The short focal length allows you to enjoy a wide field of view and the equatorial mount makes observing easier by compensating for the rotation of the earth, so that when objects escape the field of view, you only need to turn a single knob to catch them.

The mount's scale will help you find objects that are invisible to the naked eye by their coordinates. This telescope has an F/5 ratio, making it "bright" or "fast", and together with the equatorial mount it can be used for beginners in astrophotography. It uses a standard 1.25" eyepiece sleeve, so you will have no problem purchasing the eyepieces you want to suit your needs. This is the largest diameter telescope for its price!
