Meade 80EQ-AR 80mm (3.1") Equatorial Refractor

High-performance manual telescope - This large aperture 80mm diameter telescope with deluxe equatorial mount provides contrast-rich, high-resolution images of Saturn, Jupiter, the moon and many deep-space objects, as well as landmarks and nature.

The Meade 80EQ-AR permits more advanced study than smaller telescopes and enables observation of the Cassini Division in Saturn's rings. Jupiter's surface now takes on added detail as the cloud belt begins to show its essential structure, and transits of the planet's satellites across the planetary disk may now be seen. In deep space, open star clusters, such as the Pleiades (M45) in Taurus, display hundreds of stars in one telescopic field of view.

Includes two 3-element 1.25-inch eyepieces, deluxe equatorial mount with covered worm-gears that facilitate slow-motion tracking control of fast moving sky objects, heavy-duty aluminum tripod, and much more.
