General
- Brand: Meade
- Model Number: 205002
- Product Name: ETX Observer 80mm Achromatic Refractor Telescope with AudioStar Computer Controller
- Color: Black/Blue
- Assembly Required: Partial
Additional Dimensions
- Objective Lens Diameter: 80 millimeters (Generally, the larger the diameter of the objective lens, the greater the light-collecting power and the brighter images will appear.)
Dimensions
- Product Weight: 11.7 pounds (The out of box weight of the item.)
Compatibility
- Computerized Star Locator Compatible: true
Included
- Computerized Star Locator Included: true
- Eyepieces Included: 2x 1.25" eyepieces: 26mm, 9.7mm
- Tripod Included: true
- Case Included: true
Material
- Material: Other
Power
- Battery Quantity: 6
- Battery Size: AA (The battery size required for operation.)
Features
- Magnification Type: Variable (Variable magnification indicates the presence of a zoom function on the device, but fixed magnification cannot be adjusted by the user.)
- Optical Design: Refractor (There are three primary optical designs for telescopes: refractor, reflector, or catadioptric. Refractors use lenses, reflectors use mirror(s), and catadioptric telescopes use a combination of both to form images.)
- Electronic Red-Dot Projection Viewfinder: true (Locate astronomical objects more easily by using the electronic red-dot viewfinder, which shows unmagnified upright images. Wherever the telescope is pointed, a red dot or other symbol appears on the projection screen to help the user locate and focus on targets.)
- Mount Type: Computerized alt-azimuth
- Tripod Mountable: Yes
- Multi-Coated Optics: true (Multiple lens surfaces are coated and/or have multiple layers of thin films applied to each. Generally, more lens coatings provide higher levels of light transmission, contrast, and color clarity.)
Imaging
- Magnification: 82 times
Exposure Control
- Focal Ratio: f/5 (Measurement of the device's optic "speed," calculated by dviding focal length by aperture. The smaller (faster) the f/number, the lower the magnification, wider the field of view, and brighter the image - good for low power observing and deep space photography. Larger (slower) f/numbers are better suited for high power lunar and planetary viewing.)
- Focal Length: 400 millimeters (The distance from an optical device's primary lens or mirror to the point where light rays come together in a single focused point, used to determine a device's magnifying power.)
Other
- Motor Drive System: Dual-axis (There are two main types of motorized drive systems for telescopes: single-axis, which consists of a single motor/driver attached to the right-ascension axis of the mount, and dual-axis, which consists of two motors and a driver attached to both axes of the mount. Single-axis systems are typically sufficient for casual observing, while dual-axis systems provide more control for advanced use.)
- Telescope Class: Refractor
- UPC: 709942997491
