The Explore Scientific FirstLight 80mm f/8 Refractor GoTo EQ Telescope is a portable platform for observing or capturing images of the moon, planets, and deep-sky objects.
The telescope features a moderate aperture and shorter focal length for improved resolution, and a larger drawtube to avoid vignetting with larger imaging sensors or wide-field eyepieces.
The iEXOS-100 GoTo mount has a PMC-Eight motor drive system with micro-stepper motors and a direct-drive belt connection for smooth tracking and minimal vibration.
The mount is controlled wirelessly using the ExploreStars app on Windows or Android/iOS smartphones and tablets, with a database of over 70,000 objects and an intuitive user interface.
The telescope comes with a sturdy adjustable-height stainless steel tripod and includes a 25x eyepiece, a 90° diagonal, a dot-finder, and an adapter for capturing the view on smartphones.
