The included 90° diagonal has an integrated erecting prism that corrects the view to enable the scope's use on land. Celestron includes two eyepieces for high and medium magnifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe AstroMaster is outfitted with a manual alt-azimuth mount. To make finding and tracking objects easy, there is an altitude control handle and an azimuth lock. Supporting the mount and optical tube assembly (OTA) is a stainless steel tripod with sturdy 1.25' diameter legs and an adjustable height to accommodate a wide variety of users and viewing positions. Its center accessory tray pulls double-duty as a convenient place to store eyepieces and smartphones while it locks the legs in place to improve stability and reduce vibrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2_3mKLQXta2yzqy1x1OMWtpo\"\u003eOptical Tube\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description_2DgPuikwv5WtH_I_CNSiB2\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80mm aperture is ideal for lunar and planetary viewing as well as terrestrial use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast f\/5 focal ratio ensures views remain bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort 400mm focal length produces lower magnifications for wider fields of view to complement the manual mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefractor-style light path produces sharp and clear views with limited aberration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-reflection fully coated optics improve light transmission, color rendition, sharpness, and contrast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.25' rack-and-pinion focuser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated dew shield prevents condensation at night, and minimizes glare during the day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDovetail plate allows OTA to be attached to mount quickly and without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2_3mKLQXta2yzqy1x1OMWtpo\"\u003eMount and Tripod\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description_2DgPuikwv5WtH_I_CNSiB2\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\"\u003e\n\u003cu\u003eMount:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual alt-azimuth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl handle helps to adjust altitude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAzimuth lock reduces vibration and additional movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDovetail saddle accepts OTA plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cu\u003eTripod:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.25' stainless steel legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable height from 32 to 51'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessory tray locks in place for added stability and vibration reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiked feet provide additional stability on soft, rough, or uneven ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 7.6 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Eyepieces and Accessories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"description_2DgPuikwv5WtH_I_CNSiB2\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\"\u003e\n\u003cu\u003eEyepieces:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.25' diameter barrels accept most astronomical filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10mm produces 40x magnification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20mm yields 20x power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cu\u003eDiagonal:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90° angle places user's head in a comfortable viewing position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in erecting prism corrects view for terrestrial use as a conventional spotting scope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.25' barrel and eyepiece holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cu\u003eStarPointer Finderscope:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnmagnified to provide an exceptionally wide field of view to make finding subjects fast and star-hopping navigation easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProjects a center aiming dot that won't obscure the subject\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable-intensity center dot won't affect night-adjusted vision.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SPY GALLERY INC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51845027135826,"sku":"21082","price":419.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/7039\/1890\/files\/21082.jpg?v=1761244919","url":"https:\/\/tophatters.co\/products\/celestron-astromaster-80azs-80mm-f-5-alt-az-refractor-telescope","provider":"Tophatter's Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
