Its 80mm objective gathers more light than smaller-objective models while still being easy to handle and transport, especially when you have to carry it a distance to your observation site. This lens system, coupled with the fully coated optics, will give you great views of the Moon, planets, planetary moons, and brighter deep sky objects. You will be able to split binary stars and observe bright objects with virtually no comas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eOptical Tube Assembly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80mm objective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ef\/11 focal ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e910mm focal length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefractor-style optical path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAchromatic lens configuration corrects spherical and chromatic aberrations to produce distortion-free high-contrast images with true color representation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully coated optics produce bright and clear images with true color rendition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolution: 1.45 arcsec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRack-and-pinion focuser with  focusing tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard 42mm T-thread for prime-focus astrophotography; optional camera-specific T-ring required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDew\/sun shield reduces interference from peripheral terrestrial light and limits condensation on objective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eMounting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOTA only mount and tripod required for proper use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting ring assembly enables the optical tube orientation to be adjusted for precise eyepiece placement and to avoid interference with other gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eVixen Optics Porta II Alt-Azimuth Mount\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to support a 9.07 payload, and equipped with two fine adjustment handles for whole circle slow motion in both directions, the Porta II Mount from Vixen comes with a sturdy set of legs that adjust from 35 to 51 inch.
