This NEW APO Porta Series is a very high-quality beginner's apochromatic telescope in every professional sense and comes at a VERY LOW INTRODUCTORY PRICE!!! ED80Sf - The "f" suffix denotes "fun" and "fan"! A complete set-up which seeks to bring out the enthusiasm in every new user! This quality telescope with tripod is suitable for both adults and students. It is lightweight and can be carried easily anywhere for convenient stargazing.

This entry-level APO refractor features high-grade glass and quality components. Coupled with a medium f/7.5 focal ratio, the ED "S"series provide a sharp, color-free image of high contrast. At less than 60cm, this is our ultimate grab-n-go APO travel scope. Transportation is easy with the padded, key-lockable aluminium travel case included with the telescope.

When coupled to any DSLR camera using optional accessories, this telescope transforms into a 600mm telephoto lens suitable for other applications such as bird watching or surveillance work! It can also be connected with most popular digital cameras for telephotography too.

The Vixen Porta Mount is a lightweight Alt/Az mount with slow motion controls on an aluminum tripod. The Porta Mount is a highly portable system: because the weight of the scope is always over the mount, there is no need for heavy counterweights. It also features switchable slow-motion knobs, tension adjustment hex key, disassembly hex key, built-in hex key storage bay, round tripod tray and aluminum legs that extend from 90cm to 130cm.

The telescope body is similar to the famous Orion ED80! Comes with a big 9x50 achromatic finder, tube rings, flip mirror and high quality aluminium case. 1-year warranty. New stock is very limited! At a bargain price of less than S$2000, this almost complete system appeals to both beginners and serious hobbyists. What are you waiting for? Satisfaction guaranteed!

Entire setup weight is less than 10kg only. Shipping weight is about 16kg. With the supplied key-lockable aluminium case, this system can easily be packed as checked luggage for overseas travel!
