PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Omegon 80/400 AZ -3 – compact travel and cometary telescope
A long time travelling on a long journey, an adventurer in the sky – comets are wanderers from the depths of our solar system and some come to visit us. Look up at the sky and marvel at the astronomical show. The Omegon 80/400 AZ-3 is an optimal companion for your observing.
This telescope is so light and so compact that you can simply pick it up and carry it outside to point at comets. It also provides a really wide field of view with its 80mm aperture and 400mm focal length. The slow-motions on the AZ- 3 mount let you easily get on the heels of comets and find them virtually automatically.
The 80/400 optics – For heaven and Earth
Whether for astronomical or terrestrial observing – the Omegon 80/400 OTA lets you do both. This type of telescope has become known as a ‘rich field’ telescope or a ‘comet finder’. The field of view is just so large that you can take in a huge swathe of the night sky. Comet searchers appreciate telescopes with short focal lengths. Great for ‘space walks’ – of course the telescope also provides great views of the famous Andromeda galaxy and many open clusters.
