A80Mf with PortaMount

If you are looking to start out with something a little larger than a beginner scope or need a better finder scope for your large telescope, the A80Mf is the one to buy. Although it is just 10mm larger than its smaller cousin the A70Lf, this extra aperture will reveal more detail in solar system objects and the deep sky. The 80mm size us ideal for terrestrial viewing. With an optional sun projection accessory you can view sun spots projected onto a white surface. (Of course NEVER look at the sun directly). The A80Mf,, although inexpensive, is not a toy telescope. It has the same quality glass and exacting workmanship that goes into our much larger instruments.

The A80Mf is an Achromatic Refractor with 80mm (3.2”) of aperture. Its focal length is 910mm (3 ft.) with an f ratio of 11.4. Its light gathering is 130 times better than the human eye and has a maximum (realistic) power of 144X. It weighs about 5.5 lbs.

The A80Mf OTA (Optical Tube Assembly) comes complete with:

• A smaller 6 power finder telescope that attaches to the main scope to help you center the object.

• A 20mm eyepiece for general viewing.

• A 6.3mm eyepiece for those really clear nights, for high power viewing.

• A diagonal Prism that connects the eyepiece to the telescope.

• A Dew / Sun shield.

• A Complete tube rings and dovetail plate to quickly attach the A80Mf to one of the optional Vixen mounts.

• Porta Mount with locking extension legs, accessory tray, slow motion controls and adjustment tool set.
