Saturn's rings, the rugged craters of the Moon and Jupiter's moons come within reach from a back garden. It sets up quickly with no tools required, and its German equatorial mount makes following objects across the sky feel natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEquatorial Tracking That Makes Sense\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimple up-down mounts force you to chase objects in two directions at once as the Earth turns. This German equatorial mount comes with setting circles and two slow motion cables, so you can locate a target and then follow it smoothly. A 5 lb counterweight on its bar balances the tube for steady movement in both axes. The 80mm refractor has a 900mm focal length at f\/11 and gathers 131 times more light than the human eye. Two eyepieces and a 3x Barlow lens give a useful range of magnifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInside the Box and Why It Helps\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20mm and 4mm eyepieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45x for wide views of star fields, 225x for closer detail on the Moon and planets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3x Barlow lens:\u003c\/strong\u003e triples the magnification of each eyepiece, giving you more options on steady nights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e90 degree star diagonal:\u003c\/strong\u003e a more comfortable viewing position, though the image appears mirrored left to right.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5x24 finderscope:\u003c\/strong\u003e the small sighting scope lines up targets quickly before you look through the main eyepiece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e80mm Refractor Telescope Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand \/ Model\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCelestron PowerSeeker 80EQ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRefractor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAperture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length \/ Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e900mm \/ f\/11\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20mm (45x) and 4mm (225x)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBarlow Lens\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Gathering Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131x the human eye\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGerman equatorial with setting circles and two slow motion cables\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCounterweight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 lb with counterweight bar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinderscope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5x24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTripod\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoftware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe Sky CD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeeknight Stargazing Made Simple\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarry it outside on a clear, still evening, align the finderscope carefully and start with the Moon before moving on to the brighter planets.
