TS Optics Guidescope AC 80/600 (59226)

The TS Optics Guidescope AC 80/600 is a reliable and versatile guide scope designed for precise tracking during astrophotography sessions. This set features an 80 mm achromatic refractor with a 600 mm focal length, housed in sturdy metal adjustable rings with a 125 mm inner diameter. The included 3" Losmandy-level dovetail clamps ensure secure and stable attachment to a wide range of telescope setups. The high-quality two-element lens delivers well-corrected images, making the refractor suitable not only as a guide scope but also as a general-purpose telescope for observing the Moon, planets, nebulae, and for daytime use.

The focuser is robust and offers a 60 mm adjustment range for accurate focusing. It accepts both 1.25" and T2 accessories, and the focus position can be locked with a set screw. The guide scope rings are equipped with knurled set screws featuring plastic inlays to protect the tube from scratches while making it easy to find a guide star. For 1.25" eyepieces, a star diagonal is needed, and for direct camera or auto-guider connections, T2 extension tubes are recommended.
