The Celestron Travel Scope 80mm f/5 AZ Refractor Telescope Kit is designed for portability and ease-of-use for both astronomical and terrestrial use. Its refractor-style optical tube has a respectable aperture that gathers the amount of light required to ensure views of the moon and planets remain bright and clear. Included with this model of the Travel Scope is a universal smartphone digiscoping adapter that lets you capture photos and videos through the eyepieces for easy editing, enjoyment, and sharing.A photo-style alt-az pan/tilt head easily mounts the OTA with a simple screw and has a single control handle that allows for smooth movement and locks the altitude in place for hands-free use to minimize vibration. Supporting it all is a photo-style tripod that collapses low enough for tabletop use and extends to full-sized height. The included erecting prism corrects views horizontally and laterally so the Travel Scope can be used as a conventional spotting scope, and it comes with two eyepieces offering 20x and 40x magnifications, although any 1.25" astronomical eyepiece may be used. Everything fits in the included backpack to make it as portable possible.Optical Tube 80mm aperture is ideal for lunar and planetary viewing as well as terrestrial useFast f/5 focal ratio ensures views remain brightShort 400mm focal length produces lower magnifications for wider fields of view to complement the manual mountRefractor-style light path produces sharp and clear views with limited aberrationAntireflection fully coated optics improves light transmission, color rendition, sharpness, and contrast1.25" rack-and-pinion focuserIntegrated dew shield prevents condensation at night, and minimizes glare during the dayMount and Tripod Mount:Manual pan/tilt photo-style alt-azimuthControl handle for easier pan/tilt and subject trackingLocking handle sets altitudeTripod:Photo-style tripodLightweight and durable aluminum legsThree leg sections for setting it on a table or extending it to full heightSimple snap-locks for fast set up and break downAdjustable height from 22" to 52" to accommodate a wide variety of users and viewing positions Included Accessories Eyepieces:1.25" diameter eyepiece holder accepts many eyepieces and accessories10mm produces high 40x power20mm produces low 20x magnificationDiagonal:45 angle puts head in comfortable position for celestial and terrestrial viewingIntegrated erecting prism corrects view horizontally and vertically for land useSmartphone adapter:Capture photos and video through eyepieces for easy sharingFast and easy installation, use, and removal for visual observationsFits most popular smartphones, often without having to remove protective casesFully adjustable for any camera lens positionLightweight at 6 ouncesFinderscope:5x magnification produces a wide field of view for easily finding subjects and quickly star-hoppingStraight-through viewingIncludes mounting bracketBackpack:Water- and tear-resistant canvasHolds scope, tripod, mount, and accessoriesPadded interior protects gear
