Orion AstroView 80mm EQ Refractor Telescope

Here’s an affordable telescope that has the stability, optical quality, and craftsmanship to make your entry into backyard astronomy successful and rewarding. The multi-coated 80mm achromatic optics are housed in an aluminum tube equipped with a cast metal focuser, not plastic like on mass market scopes. And the quality accessories -6×30 finder scope, 1.25″ star diagonal, and two 1.25″ Explorer II eyepieces - ensure you’ll get a superb view, of Saturn, the Moon, or whatever your target. The EQ-2 equatorial mount and its sturdy, center-braced aluminum tripod hold the tube tight and true so images won’t dance around. And tracking objects is easy with the manual slow-motion controls or an optional electronic drive.
