Before the popularization of John Dobson's alt-azimuth mount design with low center of gravity combined with a Newtonian optical assembly, the vast majority of amateur telescopes consisted of small telescopes with small mounts - which made them difficult to use for serious deep sky observations by beginners. Large commercial telescopes could certainly do the job but were relatively expensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp appify_fntsize=\"14px\"\u003eThe ingenious combination of simple yet effective mechanisms with big-aperture Newtonian optics gives the Dobsonian Telescope worldwide popularity, and this telescope design typically offers the largest aperture per dollar of any telescope type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp appify_fntsize=\"14px\"\u003eDisassembly of the scope without tools ensures a trouble-free transport of this great scope even in very small cars. The entire structure has been optimized for maximum stiffness with minimal weight.

A 254mm aperture mirror collects more than 1,500 times as much light as the naked eye. Details on planets and deep sky objects will be visible even for inexperienced observers. Many star clusters are resolved to the core, spiral structure in distant galaxies is visible, and the complex matrix of bright and dark nebulae are an unforgettable experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp appify_fntsize=\"14px\"\u003eOversize altitude (16.5-inch with adjustable clutch) and azimuth (13-inch) bearings allow for smooth operation.

No telescope type has changed the hobby quite as much as the Dobsonian. Before the popularization of the Dobsonian by John Dobson, the vast majority of amateur telescopes consisted of small telescopes with primitive mechanics - barely enough to see the polar caps of Mars or the rings of Saturn. Larger telescopes, such as the Schmidt-Cassegrain were reserved for the wealthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ingenious combination of simple yet effective mechanisms with the greatest possible opening gives the Dobsonian telescope a unique triumphant march around the world. Nowhere do you get as much light for your money like a good Dobson. Disassembly of the scope without tools ensures a trouble-free transport of this great scope even in small cars. The entire structure has been optimized for maximum stiffness with minimal weight. The combination of high altitude bearings with optimized aluminum structures allows fine adjustment flows at high magnifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideal workhorse for the deep sky observers. A 406mm mirror collects more than 2,400 times as much light as the naked eye. Details on planets and deep sky objects will be visible even for inexperienced observers.

Fast forward to the year 2018, and now it was finally time to try my hand at capturing it with my Explore Scientific ED 127 telescope. My goal was to capture the entire Eagle Nebula so I used a reducer which dropped the focal down from 952 to 761 - so it actually took me farther away from the Pillars, but still close enough to see their detail. I was extremely happy with how the picture turned out and to this day, it's still one of my favorite captures. The Explore Scientific ED 127 has worked out so well for me, that it's the reason I run two rigs.

The 500mm mirror collects 5100 times more light than the naked eye. Details on planets and deep sky objects will be visible even for inexperienced observers. Bright star clusters are resolved to the core, and the sight of the terminator on the moon is an unforgettable experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp appify_fntsize=\"14px\"\u003eThe fast 20\" f3.6 main mirror as well as the large 120mm secondary mirror are made of high quality quartz material, so the cooling time is reduced to a minimum and this Dobsonian is quickly ready for use. Every main mirror is delivered with an individual optical test certificate, which guarantees the highest capacity. A laser engraved center mark of the main mirror allows easy adjustment. The optical surface has a high-quality aluminum coating with 94% reflectivity and an extremely resistant quartz protection layer. The mirror overcomes frequently occurring dew fogging and cleanups without damage and guarantees a long service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp appify_fntsize=\"14px\"\u003eNo telescope type has changed the hobby quite as much as the Dobsonian. Before the introduction of the Dobsonian by John Dobson, the vast majority of amateur telescopes consisted of small telescopes with primitive mechanics - barely enough to see the polar caps of Mars or the rings of Saturn. Larger telescopes, such as the Schmidt-Cassegrain were reserved for the wealthy. The ingenious combination of simple yet effective mechanisms with the greatest possible opening gives the Dobsonian telescope a unique triumphant march around the world. Nowhere do you get as much light for your money like a good Dobson. Disassembly of the scope without tools ensures a trouble-free transport of this great scope even in small cars. The entire structure has been optimized for maximum stiffness with minimal weight. The combination of high altitude bearings with optimized aluminum structures allows fine adjustment flows at high magnifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp appify_fntsize=\"14px\"\u003eA complete redesign of this Dobsonian was necessary to ensure the significantly increased requirements to stiffness and load bearing capacity of the optical components. All connections of the tube structure were made in the TIG welding process and no rivets and screws were used. This has made it possible for us to produce this 20\" light weight Dobsonian so unbelievably stiff in spite of the low weight - a noticeably good quality which is begging you to take one home. The production of almost all mechanical components is carried out by our partners in Hungary and the final assembly of the optics and subsequent quality control takes place in Rhede, Germany. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp appify_fntsize=\"14px\"\u003eA second 40° displaced installed mounting plate with a viewfinder shoe allows the rotation of the tube top in combination for a favorable position of the viewfinder tube or the mounting of an additional TELRAD viewfinder. The 6 supporting feet underneath the rocker box offers perfect stability and guarantees smooth tracking in azimuth.

Johnson believed in creating high-quality optical instruments at an affordable price, and inspired a generation of amateur astronomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour decades later, we've improved upon this design by adding cutting-edge features, while staying true to our founder's intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView the Universe's Most Impressive Celestial Objects\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 4SE's four-inch primary mirror packs enough light-gathering ability to observe the best that the solar system has to offer: Saturn's rings, the cloud bands on Jupiter, and geographic features on the surface of the Moon. When it comes to deep sky objects, take your 4SE to a dark-sky site and you'll see hundreds of pinpoint stars in the Hercules Globular Cluster, the spiral arms of the Whirlpool Galaxy, and more.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevolutionary Single Fork Arm Mount\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWe know the best telescope is the one you will use most often. That's why Celestron's engineers created NexStar SE's unique, patented single fork arm mount. It's perfectly portable and makes setup quick and easy. What's more, the NexStar SE breaks down into several lightweight and compact pieces, making it easy to transport, even in small vehicles. You'll have no problem getting the NexStar SE to your favorite observing site, or setting it up quickly in your backyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, it's what's inside the mount that really counts. Sturdy construction from high-quality components give NexStar SE the pointing and tracking accuracy needed to observe and follow your favorite targets with push-button ease. Use the included NexStar+ hand control to locate over 40,000 celestial objects, or take a Sky Tour and let your telescope show you the best objects currently visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAligning your telescope is simple and painless, too, thanks to SkyAlign. This process makes alignment as easy as 1-2-3: just center three bright objects in your eyepiece and press ALIGN. For even easier alignment, attach our StarSense AutoAlign and your NexStar SE aligns itself!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Features Let the NexStar SE Grow with You\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe NexStar SE is compatible with all the high-tech accessories advanced users love. Provide GPS coordinates to your telescope with SkySync, or add automatic alignment functionality with StarSense AutoAlign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts built-in wedge allows you to track long exposures. if you're interested in imaging the Moon and planets, pair your NexStar 4SE with one of our Skyris cameras. From your first observing session and for years to come, the NexStar SE is your trusted companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-list-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003ch4

It's the perfect choice for your first serious telescope, offering striking views at an economical price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Founder's Vision, Re-imagined for the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCentury\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIn the 1970s, Celestron's Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes brought the hobby of astronomy to the masses and established Celestron as the world's premier telescope maker. Our founder, Tom Johnson, invented Celestron's proprietary method of producing Schmidt corrector plates for superior views and maximum portability. Johnson believed in creating high-quality optical instruments at an affordable price, and inspired a generation of amateur astronomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour decades later, we've improved upon this design by adding cutting-edge features, while staying true to our founder's intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView the Universe's Most Impressive Celestial Objects\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 5SE's five-inch primary mirror packs enough light-gathering ability to observe the best that the solar system has to offer: Saturn's rings, the cloud bands on Jupiter, and geographic features on the surface of the Moon. When it comes to deep sky objects, take your 5SE to a dark-sky site and you'll see hundreds of pinpoint stars in the Hercules Globular Cluster, the spiral arms of the Whirlpool Galaxy, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevolutionary Single Fork Arm Mount\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWe know the best telescope is the one you will use most often. That's why Celestron's engineers created NexStar SE's unique, patented single fork arm mount. It's perfectly portable and makes setup quick and easy. What's more, the NexStar SE breaks down into several lightweight and compact pieces, making it easy to transport, even in small vehicles. You'll have no problem getting the NexStar SE to your favorite observing site, or setting it up quickly in your backyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, it's what's inside the mount that really counts. Sturdy construction from high-quality components give NexStar SE the pointing and tracking accuracy needed to observe and follow your favorite targets with push-button ease. Use the included NexStar+ hand control to locate over 40,000 celestial objects, or take a Sky Tour and let your telescope show you the best objects currently visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAligning your telescope is simple and painless, too, thanks to SkyAlign. This process makes alignment as easy as 1-2-3: just center three bright objects in your eyepiece and press ALIGN. For even easier alignment, attach our StarSense AutoAlign and your NexStar SE aligns itself!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Features Let the NexStar SE Grow with You\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe NexStar SE is compatible with all the high-tech accessories advanced users love. Provide GPS coordinates to your telescope with SkySync, or add automatic alignment functionality with StarSense AutoAlign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to explore the world of astro imaging, the 5SE is a perfect choice. Its built-in wedge allows you to track long exposures. You can even remove the telescope's secondary mirror and replace it with a DSLR or astronomical CCD camera for wide field images captured at f\/2 using a Fastar\/HyperStar lens assembly. Or, if you're interested in imaging the Moon and planets, pair your NexStar 5SE with one of our Skyris cameras. From your first observing session and for years to come, the NexStar SE is your trusted companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-list-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003ch4

It's the perfect choice for your first serious telescope, offering striking views at an economical price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Founder's Vision, Re-imagined for the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCentury\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIn the 1970s, Celestron's Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes brought the hobby of astronomy to the masses and established Celestron as the world's premier telescope maker. Our founder, Tom Johnson, invented Celestron's proprietary method of producing Schmidt corrector plates for superior views and maximum portability. Johnson believed in creating high-quality optical instruments at an affordable price, and inspired a generation of amateur astronomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour decades later, we've improved upon this design by adding cutting-edge features, while staying true to our founder's intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView the Universe's Most Impressive Celestial Objects\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 6SE's six-inch primary mirror packs enough light-gathering ability to observe the best that the solar system has to offer: Cassini's Division in Saturn's rings, the cloud bands on Jupiter, and geographic features on the surface of the Moon. When it comes to deep sky objects, take your 6SE to a dark-sky site and you'll see hundreds of pinpoint stars in the Hercules Globular Cluster, the spiral arms of the Whirlpool Galaxy, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevolutionary Single Fork Arm Mount\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWe know the best telescope is the one you will use most often. That's why Celestron's engineers created NexStar SE's unique, patented single fork arm mount. It's perfectly portable and makes setup quick and easy. What's more, the NexStar SE breaks down into several lightweight and compact pieces, making it easy to transport, even in small vehicles. You'll have no problem getting the NexStar SE to your favorite observing site, or setting it up quickly in your backyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, it's what's inside the mount that really counts. Sturdy construction from high-quality components give NexStar SE the pointing and tracking accuracy needed to observe and follow your favorite targets with push-button ease. Use the included NexStar+ hand control to locate over 40,000 celestial objects, or take a Sky Tour and let your telescope show you the best objects currently visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAligning your telescope is simple and painless, too, thanks to SkyAlign. This process makes alignment as easy as 1-2-3: just center three bright objects in your eyepiece and press ALIGN. For even easier alignment, attach our StarSense AutoAlign and your NexStar SE aligns itself!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Features Let the NexStar SE Grow with You\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe NexStar SE is compatible with all the high-tech accessories advanced users love. Provide GPS coordinates to your telescope with SkySync, or add automatic alignment functionality with StarSense AutoAlign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor planetary imaging, pair your NexStar 6SE with one of our Skyris cameras. Or, experiment with wide-field deep sky astro imaging by replacing the telescope's secondary mirror with a DSLR or astronomical CCD camera with a Fastar\/HyperStar lens assembly. From your first observing session and for years to come, the NexStar SE is your trusted companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-list-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cp

Our founder, Tom Johnson, invented Celestron's proprietary method of producing Schmidt corrector plates for superior views and maximum portability. Johnson believed in creating high-quality optical instruments at an affordable price, and inspired a generation of amateur astronomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour decades later, we've improved upon this design by adding cutting-edge features, while staying true to our founder's intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBig Mirror, Small Price\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWith a full 8 inches of aperture, the 8SE reveals details in even the faintest celestial objects. With this much light-gathering ability, you'll clearly observe Cassini's Division in Saturn's rings, the cloud bands on Jupiter, and the Great Red Spot. Beyond the solar system, your 8SE will show you hundreds of pinpoint stars in the Hercules Globular Cluster, the spiral arms of the Whirlpool Galaxy, and more. And don't forget the Moon-you'll see craters and geographic features like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevolutionary Single Fork Arm Mount\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWe know the best telescope is the one you will use most often. That's why Celestron's engineers created NexStar SE's unique, patented single fork arm mount. It's perfectly portable and makes setup quick and easy. What's more, the NexStar SE breaks down into several lightweight and compact pieces, making it easy to transport, even in small vehicles. You'll have no problem getting the NexStar SE to your favorite observing site, or setting it up quickly in your backyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, it's what's inside the mount that really counts. Sturdy construction from high-quality components give NexStar SE the pointing and tracking accuracy needed to observe and follow your favorite targets with push-button ease. Use the included NexStar+ hand control to locate over 40,000 celestial objects, or take a Sky Tour and let your telescope show you the best objects currently visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAligning your telescope is simple and painless, too, thanks to SkyAlign. This process makes alignment as easy as 1-2-3: just center three bright objects in your eyepiece and press ALIGN. For even easier alignment, attach our StarSense AutoAlign and your NexStar SE aligns itself!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Features Let the NexStar SE Grow with You\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe NexStar SE is compatible with all the high-tech accessories advanced users love.

The design consists of a Schmidt corrector, primary mirror, lens group, and optical window. The lens group contains 4 elements and utilizes rare-earth elements. Unlike many telescopes that only perform well over the visible spectrum (400-700nm), the 8 RASA's optics are designed to perform over a wider spectral range, from 390-800nm. This allows more of the light emitted from the astronomical object to be sharply focused in the image. With many imaging systems, adding an extra piece of flat glass such as a filter does not change optical performance. However, that is not the case with super-fast optical systems like the RASA. Our engineers addressed this by designing the RASA with a removable optical window, so you can maintain peak optical performance if a filter is added or if a camera has its own optical window. Celestron offers a Light Pollution Imaging Filter designed specifically for the 8 RASA, which mounts in place of the optical window. All refractive optical surfaces are coated with StarBright XLT coatings, while the primary mirror uses enhanced aluminum coatings. This maintains high light transmission through the entire optical system. When compared with Hyperstar SCT systems, the RASA 8 provides better optical performance and field illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content js-accordion-content rte\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq-q\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"faq-label\"\u003eQ:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pdp-text-wrap\"\u003eWhy can't the Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) 8 be used visually?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"pdp-faq-expand visible\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"height: auto; visibility: visible;\" class=\"pdp-faq-a visible\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"faq-label\"\u003eA:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pdp-text-wrap\"\u003eThe optics produce an image at the front end of the telescope, not the back.

This can make critical focusing more challenging. The RASA 8 focuses by moving the primary mirror inward-and-outward. If the mirror moves at all laterally, then focus shift will result. The USFS works by using a precision linear ball bearing on the shaft that supports the primary mirror. This constrains any lateral motion of the primary mirror and minimizes focus shift. This also helps prevent any unwanted lateral motion of the primary mirror (also known as mirror flop) as the astrograph is pointed to different positions in the night sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq-q\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"faq-label\"\u003eQ:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pdp-text-wrap\"\u003eWhat is the extended spectral range (400-800 nm) and what is the benefit?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"pdp-faq-expand\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq-a\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"faq-label\"\u003eA:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pdp-text-wrap\"\u003eMost telescopes are designed to perform well over the visual spectrum (i.e 400-700nm). The RASA 8 optics were designed to perform over a wider spectral range, from 400-800nm. This means that light from 700nm-800nm will be well focused in the RASA 8, allowing more of the light emitted from the astronomical object to be sharply focused in the image.

For convenient mounting of a guide scope, Celestron offers a CGE dovetail accessory mounting bar which connects to the top of the RASA 8 and allows easy installation of guide scope rings.

Fix this by exiting StarSense mode and pressing the StarSense icon button. Then press the StarSense icon again to re-enter StarSense mode.

If this occurs, gently wipe the mirror surface with a clean tissue (without lotion!) or a soft cleaning cloth until the mirror is dry and free of dew. The reflective surface is on the underside of the mirror glass, so you cannot damage the reflective coatings from wiping or cleaning the mirror.

Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about this beyond waiting for a clearer night to observe. As general rule, if you can't see many stars with your eyes, then conditions will likely not permit the camera to \"see\" enough stars, either.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e It may not be dark enough out. You'll need to wait at least an hour after sunset for StarSense Explorer to be able to \"see\" enough stars to find its position. If you can't see many stars with your eyes, it is not dark enough yet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003eThere may be a bright light source, like a streetlight, shining into the StarSense dock's mirror. To combat this, move to an area that is shielded from nearby lighting sources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e There may be something in the camera's field of view that is affecting the phone's ability to \"sense\" stars, such as power lines, trees, or the edge of a building. Try moving to an area with a clearer view of the night sky, without interference from anything on land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e The Moon may be very bright in the night sky. The Moon's big, bright disc can blind StarSense Explorer so that it cannot locate objects near the Moon. To see if this is the problem, try selecting another object to view in a different part of the night sky. Also, keep in mind that any deep-sky objects will appear washed out when the Moon is bright in the night sky. The best nights to observe are when the Moon is in or near the New Moon phase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e The camera may not be properly centered over the StarSense dock. If it is not properly centered, the dock will block the camera's view, preventing StarSense Explorer from \"sensing\" enough stars. Fix this by exiting StarSense mode and pressing the StarSense icon button. Then press the StarSense icon again to re-enter StarSense mode. Select \"Needs Alignment\" from the pop-up window and go through the camera alignment process again. Use the X-Y knobs on the StarSense dock to precisely center the smartphone camera over the dock's mirror. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e The smartphone's camera may be picking up getting stray reflections off the back of your phone. This can occur with smartphones or smartphone cases with reflective, shiny metallic, or mirrored backings. Stray light near the observing site reflects off the back of the phone, into the mirror, and then into the camera. If this occurs, try placing the phone in a non-reflective case and be sure there are no nearby light sources that can reflect off the back of the smartphone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e There may be dew on the StarSense dock's mirror. When the ambient outside temperature is close to the dew point for your location, dew may start to form on the mirror, preventing the smartphone's camera from seeing the sky. If this occurs, gently wipe the mirror surface with a clean tissue (without lotion!) or a soft cleaning cloth until the mirror is dry and free of dew. The reflective surface is on the underside of the mirror glass, so you cannot damage the reflective coatings from wiping or cleaning the mirror.

The Sky-Watcher ED-APO 80mm is a modestly wide-field telescope offering bright, wide swaths of sky in a single view. It is well suited for wide-field astronomical observation of prominent nebulae, star clusters and galaxies from a dark-sky location, or can be used as an astrograph for sky photography. As a terrestrial spotting scope or telephoto lens, the ED-APO's performance is absolutely superb. Ultra high contrast allows the subtlest of details to be easily scrutinized under conditions of good seeing. The petite silhouette of the SW ED-APO 80 mm makes for an excellent compact, portable telescope that travels light and fits a small space. At about 50-power, structural detail becomes apparent in our solar system's gas giants like Saturn and Jupiter. The Moon also exhibits striking crater detail along the lunar terminator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an astrograph, the SW EvoStar 80ED delivers superb performance imaging a wide spectrum of astronomical phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefractors-the Ultimate Imaging Instruments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a given aperture size, refractors will always exhibit sharper images than other optical designs because the refractor concentrates more light into the central airy-disk and first diffraction rings.

All ED glass elements are fluorite-based and feature our proprietary Metallic High-Transmission Coatings™ (MHTC™), virtually eliminating all false color while dual-baffles prevent stray light from affecting your photography.
