16x to 40x Magnification 80mm Spotting Scope: Here is the most versatile optical instrument you will ever own. Perfect for astronomy, hunting, bird watching, or cityscape gazing, this refractor scope provides an impressive view. With a full-coated achromatic 80mm primary objective lens and a short 400mm focal length, this little bundle of power packs a super-fast F/5.0, which means it is the perfect light-gathering instrument for getting great views of birds or animals in darker shaded areas, and you will see clear, bright images of anything through either of the two powerful Kellner eyepieces. Images are seen right-side up through a 45 degree angle prism, so this telescope is ready-to-use for daytime earth-bound observing. This is also a terrific choice for wide-field and deep space astronomy. Of course, for the backyard astronomer, this telescope is ideal and is a great introductory telescope if you are serious about learning all about astronomy. With its tremendous light-gathering power, in dark skies you can observe fabulous nebulae, galaxies, binary star systems and most of the famed deep-space Messier objects. Of course, with this telescope, you can see outstanding detail when viewing the moon and you can see you can see the Rings of Saturn and the Moons of Jupiter. Great Eyepieces & Accessories: This telescope comes with 1 medium power 25mm Kellner eyepiece and 1 high powered 10mm Kellner eyepiece, each with its own storage container. With a standard 1.25″ diameter focusing tube, you can always add additional eyepieces as well. Mini Tripod & Carry Case: Included with your purchase is a padded, over-the-shoulder, carry case. Take it on camping trips, hunting excursions, to the beach, to the mountains, overseas, or just stick it in your car “just in case” there’s something to see. The mini “Instant Use” tripod fits right inside the carry bag. Of course, the telescope mount will fit any standard full-size photographic tripod as well.
