Orion ST80-T Refractor Terrestrial Version w No Case
The ShortTube's 15" aluminum optical tube houses an 80 mm achromatic objective lens that is multi-coated for wonderful light transmission. You'll enjoy a large field of view with its short 400 mm focal length (f/5) with incredibly high resolution. The oversized aluminum dew shield guards against moisture accumulation on the lens while also blocking off-axis glare, giving you better image contrast.
This refractor telescope comes machined with a 1.25" cast-aluminum rack-and-pinion focuser, which has a dovetail finder scope show molded into the housing. The drawtube collar also features male T2 threads, which allows for attachment of a DSLR or mirrorless camera directly to the drawtube via a T-ring (sold separately) for prime focus photography.
You will also receive two interchangeable Sirius Plossl eyepieces - 25 mm and 10 mm - that deliver 16x and 40x magnifying power (respectively). These optics are multi-coated to provide bright images and their barrels are also threaded to accept optional Orion filters.
A dovetail mounting bar is preinstalled on the ShortTube 80-T, allows you to attach the telescope to any mount with a Vixen-style saddle or to any photo tripod with a 1/4"-20 threaded post, via one of the tapped holes in the bottom of the dovetail bar.
While the ShortTube 80-T refractor is designed specifically for terrestrial viewing, you are able to turn it skyward in the evening for a little stargazing. You can scan the Milky Way or observe the Moon in great detail.
- Orion's popular ShortTube 80 refractor that is configured specifically for daytime terrestrial viewing
- Multi-coated achromatic objective lens and short 400 mm focal length give you beautifully sharp, wide-field views of wildlife, scenery, or casual nighttime sky watching
