Product Description

16x to 40x Magnification 80mm Spotting Scope: Here is the most versatile optical instrument you will ever own. Perfect for astronomy, hunting, bird watching, or cityscape gazing, this refractor scope provides an impressive view. With a full-coated achromatic 80mm primary objective lens and a short 400mm focal length, this little bundle of power packs a super-fast F/5.0, which means it is the perfect light-gathering instrument for getting great views of birds or animals in darker shaded areas, and you will see clear, bright images of anything through either of the two powerful Kellner eyepieces. Images are seen right-side up through a 45 degree angle prism, so this telescope is ready-to-use for daytime earth-bound observing. This is also a terrific choice for wide-field and deep space astronomy. Of course, for the backyard astronomer, this telescope is ideal and is a great introductory telescope if you are serious about learning all about astronomy. With its tremendous light-gathering power, in dark skies you can observe fabulous nebulae, galaxies, binary star systems and most of the famed deep-space Messier objects. Of course, with this telescope, you can see outstanding detail when viewing the moon and you can see you can see the Rings of Saturn and the Moons of Jupiter. Great Eyepieces & Accessories: This telescope comes with 1 medium power 25mm Kellner eyepiece and 1 high powered 10mm Kellner eyepiece, each with its own storage container. With a standard 1.25" diameter focusing tube, you can always add additional eyepieces as well. Mini Tripod & Carry Case: Included with your purchase is a padded, over-the-shoulder, carry case. Take it on camping trips, hunting excursions, to the beach, to the mountains, overseas, or just stick it in your car "just in case" there's something to see. The mini "Instant Use" tripod fits right inside the carry bag. Of course, the telescope mount will fit any standard full-size photographic tripod as well.

Blue TwinStar AstroMark 80mm 16-40x Power Portable Refractor Telescope Review

If you are looking for a first telescope or need an inexpensive guide scope and you can get this scope for less than $90, then get it! Rachel's newness to telescopes is apparent. Regardless of the size of the aperture of the telescope, stars by the very nature of their light will always be just "dots". Also, using the scope indoors to look outdoors through a window - just doesn't work!

Pros: This scope, with the supplied eyepieces, shows crisp terrestrial views. The 25mm eyepiece field of view shows all of the Pleiades star cluster. The 10mm eyepiece easily shows Albireo broken out as an orange and blue double star. Also the 10mm eyepiece shows the two major cloud bands on Jupiter and all four Galilean moons. The resolution is good enough with this scope that the "seeing" conditions will dictate whether you get a mediocre or excellent viewing experience. Neither Saturn nor the Moon is up right now, but this scope should adequately show the ring system of Saturn and enough lunar detail to hold your interest for many minutes.

Cons: As with any inexpensive telescope with a tiny finder scope on a plastic mount with an inexpensive rack and pinion focuser; there will be challenges. The finder scope is difficult to align with the main scope. It took me several minutes to get it "close". The Alt-Azimuth mount does have a modest tracking ability by using adjustment screws that manually allow limited movement in both the horizontal and vertical axis. Fortunately, the scope is attached to the mount via a 1/4-20 screw receptacle so it can be mounted to any photographic tripod. All telescopes suffer from image shake. But the more expensive the scope; the smaller the shake and the faster it goes away. This inexpensive scope on the supplied mount shakes a lot, so focusing is a challenge. Focus the image with tiny adjustments then don't touch till it calms down to see if your focus adjustment was enough or too much. Using a bright star as a focusing guide is advisable.

Bottom Line: With a little practice at pointing, focusing, and guiding, this scope is fun to use and will keep you entertained for as long your patience lasts, the night remains relatively calm and clear, and your hands can still function in the cold night air. Visual astronomy is not as simple as looking through the eyepiece to get a spectacular view. Knowledge of the scope (its optics and mount) and practice using the scope makes for a spectacular view.
