Orion ED80T CF Triplet Apochromatic Refractor Telescope - 80mm Aperture, F/6

The Orion ED80T CF Triplet Apochromatic Refractor Telescope is an exceptional optical tube assembly designed for astronomy enthusiasts who demand versatility and precision. Whether you're an avid astrophotographer or a passionate stargazer, this telescope offers a perfect blend of performance and portability.

Constructed with a lightweight carbon fiber tube, this telescope is engineered for those on the go. The heart of this instrument is an 80 mm aperture combined with an f/6 focal ratio, featuring a triplet apochromatic design with a low dispersion (ED) lens crafted from premium FPL-53 glass. This setup significantly reduces chromatic aberration and ensures vibrant, high-contrast views of celestial objects.

The telescope is equipped with a robust Crayford-type focuser, allowing precise focusing with its dual-speed knobs and an 11:1 fine focus ratio. This focuser can support a maximum load of 2.7 kg, making it suitable for use with heavy astrophotography cameras without losing precision.

For easy mounting, the ED80T CF can be attached using the Vixen foot or a 1/4"-20 thread. Additionally, it features a dovetail accessory foot for convenient attachment of a finder scope.
