Orion 80mm ED Apochromatic Refractor Telescope
We love those premium "apo" refractors as much as the next guy. We just don't think you should have to work a second job or put the family heirlooms on eBay to own one. Now you won't, thanks to our amazingly affordable 80mm ED refractor. Its multi-coated 80mm objective doublet contains one element crafted from extra-low-dispersion FPL-53 glass. Images are virtually free of chromatic aberration! With a focal length of 600mm (f/7.5), the "ED80" is wonderfully suited for visual applications on both solar system and deep-sky objects as well as for prime-focus astrophotography and CCD imaging. Sold as optical tube assembly only, without accessories. Finished in gunmetal gray metallic enamel. Compatible tube rings are #7371, sold separately. One-year limited warranty.

Orion EON 80mm ED Apochromatic Refractor
The EON 80ED is an imager's dream scope. The 500mm focal length yields an f-ratio of 6.25. So the EON 80ED gives you brighter images, a wider field of view, and allows shorter exposures of deep-sky objects. The 80mm air-spaced doublet lens is crafted with one element of FPL-53 extra-low dispersion, "ED", optical glass, which virtually eliminates the effects of chromatic aberration. All air-to-glass lens surfaces are fully multi-coated for maximum light throughput. Baffles inside the optical tube, glare threads in the focuser drawtube, and a retracting lens shade/dew shield eliminate unwanted glare to deliver crisp, high-contrast images. Like all EON instruments, the 80ED has a beautifully machined and rotatable Crayford-type 2" focuser with a removable 1.25" insert. The gearless Crayford design provides smooth, zero image-shift focusing. The dual-speed focusing knobs have an 11:1 micro-focusing ratio. A dovetail finder scope base comes standard and accommodates any Orion finder scope or EZ Finder. The telescope has an integrated L-shaped mounting base that fits the dovetail saddle of Orion telescope mounts. The base also has ¼"-20 threaded holes to allow attachment to a sturdy field tripod for terrestrial use. Weighs 6 lbs., 8 oz. One-year limited warranty.
