The Discovery Sky Trip ST80 telescope with book is the dream of every aspiring astronomer. This compact refracting telescope is perfect for first experiences with outer space, for day trips, and even for basic astrophotography. The interesting educational book "Space. Not-empty Vacuum" contains all the basic theories needed to observe the stars. This instrument is ideal for lunar, planetary, and terrestrial observations. The brightest deep sky objects, such as nebulae and distant galaxies, are easily visible. The best telescope in the series: the maximum magnification reaches 160x.
The Discovery Sky Trip ST80 is easy to use because the telescope tube is mounted on a simple altazimuth mount that allows movement along the azimuth and altitude coordinates. The telescope is sold with many optical accessories: a Barlow lens, various eyepieces, a finder scope, and a prism diagonal. There is a smartphone adapter that allows you to take photos and record videos. You will be able to explore the potential of your first telescope by adjusting the settings to observe various celestial bodies, then record the results and share them with your friends. A small built-in compass makes ground orientation easier.
The advantage of this telescope is the small size optical tube. Compared to most other refractors, its optical tube is half the length. In addition, the telescope is simple and quick to set up. This makes it ideal for road trips, weekends in the countryside, and astrophotography festivals outside the city. This instrument and its accessories can be stored in a convenient carrying bag for safe transport. The stable, height-adjustable aluminum tripod, equipped with an accessory tray, easily adapts to the height of any user.
