TwinStar Black 80mm iOptron Computerized GPS Equatorial Refractor Telescope

This GPS telescope does it all with just the push of a button. Simply turn the telescope on, choose the object you want to see on the handheld controller and the computerized mount does the rest. North Star alignment not necessary with GPS. The fully coated achromatic 80mm primary objective lens is maintenance free and ready to use right out of the box. With a short 400mm focal length, this little bundle of power packs a super-fast F/5.0, which means its the perfect light-gathering instrument for wide-field and deep space astronomy. With this kind of light-gathering power, you will see bright images of anything through either of the two powerful Kellner eyepieces. That makes this telescope ideal for just about any observing application. The iOptron SmartStar-A Equatorial Mount with GPS, a.k.a. The Cube, is probably the most functional and flexible unit on the market. Both axis motors are built into a small single unit. In addition, there are no "dead spots" -- so you can point your telescope anywhere above the horizon, whereas, other mounts block the telescope tube at certain points of rotation. This mount also comes standard with AC connection. The mount also accepts 8 AA cell batteries for use at home or in the field (Batteries sold separately). The revolutionary GoToNova computerized control system is the most technologically advanced automated tracking system available on the market today. With a database of 80,000 celestial objects, including all of the most famous galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, not to mention the planets, you'll be able to enjoy star gazing with the simple push of a button. The GoToNova Controller is much easier to use than other similar products. The hand controller is more intuitive with menu categories better organized. It also has a larger LCD screen with more lines of content compared with the competition. Using the easy-to-use hand controller, you can easily set up your telescope and select where you want to go.
