Celestron TrailSeeker 80 A

The Celestron TrailSeeker telescope is a remarkable instrument that combines exceptional optics with a range of features typically found in higher-end models. With its microfocus unit and precision focusing knob, users can achieve precise focus adjustments for optimal viewing. Additionally, the telescope is equipped with a retractable sunshield that significantly enhances image contrast when observing under bright light conditions.

One standout feature of the TrailSeeker is its rifle mount, which allows the telescope to rotate around its own axis without the need to move the tripod. This feature provides convenience and flexibility during observations. However, perhaps the most exciting feature of the TrailSeeker is the availability of interchangeable sunglasses. With a wide array of high-quality astronomical eyepieces in the standard 1.25-inch format, users can customize their viewing experience to suit their preferences.

The telescope also includes a T2 adapter (M42x0.75) on the eyepiece, enabling the connection of a reflex camera for eyepiece projection, providing magnification capabilities. The only requirement is a compatible T2 ring, which is available for Nikon E, Nikon 1, Canon EOS, Pentax K, Sony A, Sony E, micro4/3, Olympus E/4/3 cameras.

The TrailSeeker boasts excellent optical performance with high-quality lenses. Its optics are fully coated with XLT layers, ensuring superior light transmission and optimal contrast within its price range. Furthermore, the telescope is nitrogen-filled, preventing internal evaporation and making it fully weather-resistant.

With an 80mm lens version, the TrailSeeker delivers increased light gathering capabilities, allowing for enhanced brightness and higher magnification compared to the 65mm model. The telescope effortlessly achieves magnifications ranging from 20x to 60x while maintaining excellent image quality and brightness. Its large field of view at minimum magnification and high maximum magnification, combined with its compact size, make it a versatile tool for observations.

The angled version of the TrailSeeker features a 45-degree eyepiece angle, making it ideal for tripod-mounted observations. It is particularly useful for observing objects located on or above the horizon, such as ships at sea, mountains, office building windows, and astronomical objects.
