Product description

AC 80/400 telescope: A short tube, uncomplicated instrument for astronomical or terrestrial observing. The 80mm diameter lens is enough for this telescope to view the farthest reaches of the universe at an affordable price. Its short focal length makes this a so-called 'rich field' telescope, making stunning wide angle observing possible. Of course, the resolving power of the refractor is even higher than that of the 70mm version. The higher, 1.14 arc seconds, resolution provides you with a more detailed view when planetary observing. Enjoy seemingly three-dimensional views of the Andromeda Galaxy or the Orion Nebula, with the huge field of view making your observing seem almost like a space walk.

It not only matters which telescope you buy but also where you buy it. Our additional services:

  • We are a leading telescope dealer and know the devices we sell. Our customer service team will gladly help you after your purchase if you have problems with assembly or operation.
  • We provide a copy of the 80-page Telescope ABC beginners handbook with every telescope.

Det har gått några veckor sedan köp och jag håller med dig i dina tankar omkring detta teleskop, efter att min första besvikelse har lagt sig. Som du säger ett fantastiskt teleskop för breda vyer och dessutom lätt och med vass optik, "för dom pengarna". Just nu söker jag på marknaden efter en mikro fokuserare som kan passa röret med 80mm inner diameter, har du något förslag, om det nu finns någon alls? Ger nya poäng för denna refraktor.
Med vänlig hälsning

For this telescope, there is no microfocus available.

Purchased the following telescope Orion Telescope AC 80/400 CT80 OTA. I had the hope that it was a good price, 1060 Swedish crowns, got it home today and judge if my surprise clean scrap plastic parts everywhere except the tube and the glass itself. The focus clean the scent, under all criticism. If I have to say something to its advantage, it is light and sharp and that it is small and light, but it may be due to the plastic. Just to hope that it is possible to exchange focus for something better, for example a CRAYFORD FOCUS WITH DOUBLE SPEED.
Reindeer is not recommended for purchase, a shame that it is sold on the market.
Have a good day, I will

In my opinion, only one star for this review is way too harsh. This telescope is in the low price range of 100,- euros. Of course it doesn't come with a Crayford focuser. But it is really lightweight and has solid optics. Like the video from Orion explains, it is good for guiding or as rich field telescope.
