If you've been searching for a portable telescope with superb optics suitable for both celestial and terrestrial viewing, we have it: the Orion ShortTube 80.

This scope's fully coated 80mm achromatic objective lens produces clear, sharp images for terrestrial viewing, while its "fast" focal length (400mm, f/5) is great for sweeping star fields. Plus, its short tube means you can slip it in a backpack or suitcase. The ShortTube 80 sets up in seconds on a standard camera tripod using its built in 1/4"-20 mounting plate.

The seamless aluminum tube features an aluminum rack-and-pinion focuser. The 45-degree correct-image diagonal and 6x26 correct-image finder scope match the naked-eye view. Includes two Sirius Plossl eyepieces. One-year limited warranty.
