Now you can get our premium 80mm ED refractor in a complete equatorial package. The SkyView Pro 80ED combines the best value in high-end refractors today with the stability and precision of our SkyView Pro equatorial mount—for one very attractive price.

The ED80’s stunningly clean, pinpoint star images and lack of color fringing around bright objects has observing purists doing double-takes. Credit the multi-coated 80mm objective lens doublet, one element of which is crafted from FPL-53 extra-low dispersion ED optical glass. This high-grade glass virtually eliminates chromatic aberration — the false color that typically rings bright objects such as the Moon, planets, and bright stars in standard achromatic refractors. In our ED80, images appear remarkably sharp and clean — just bright object against black sky.
