Meade 80EQ-AR 80mm (3.1) Equatorial RefractorThis large-aperture 80mm diameter manual 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.

Jupiters surface now takes on added detail as the cloud belt begins to show its essential structure and transits of the planets 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.

This high -performance telescope includes two 3-element 1.25-inch eyepieces; a 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.
