Description

The iOptron® 80mm refractor (R80) is a fantastic astronomy telescope that is portable enough to take anywhere. With fully multi-coated optics, the R80 reveals brighter and sharper images. The 80mm objective lens and short 400mm (f/5.0) focal length are perfect for taking in wide swaths of the heavens, making it ideal for larger deep-sky objects. You'll see spectacular star clusters, wispy nebulas, and expansive galaxies with this telescope, but it also excels at viewing objects in our solar system. Enjoy experiencing the phases of the Moon and tracking the motions of the planets with crisp views of Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons, as well as the birds and other land objects.

If you are looking for a lightweight, fast guidescope, iOptron R80 is a great candidate. It can be easily attached to a larger primary telescope tube assembly with the proper rings and dovetail, and will accept your digital SLR, small CCD camera, or a stand-alone autoguider.

Samuel E. ★★★★★

The fully multi-coated optics really do make a difference—Jupiter's bands were crisp and clear even in my light-polluted backyard. It's light enough that I can carry it to the park without a second thought.

Edward W. ★★★★★

The fully multi-coated optics on this 80mm make a real difference—Jupiter's bands looked much sharper through it than through my old scope. It’s light enough to easily carry out to my dark-sky spot, too.

Victoria ★★★★★

I brought this refractor on a camping trip and was surprised how easy it was to set up in the dark—the tube is compact enough to fit in my backpack. Jupiter's bands and four moons came through crisp, even from a modestly light-polluted site.
