Meade DS-2080ATS Telescope

$249.00 to $300.00



Meade Digital Series telescopes bring microprocessor technology and the very latest in electromechanical design to the serious beginning or intermediate observer. Completely re-engineered and redesigned, Meade DS-2080AT telescopes provide extremely smooth motions in both altitude and azimuth, and, most importantly, include a fully integrated Autostar control system as standard equipment. Oversize bearings on both telescope axes of all models negate the imprecisions found universally, virtually without exception, on competing models.Minimize

Galileo FS-80 Telescope


The Galileo FS-80 reflector telescope is a great beginner's reflecting telescope. The large 80mm primary mirror cell collects 33% more light than a 60mm refracting telescope. 1.25 focus housing permits the use of larger higher quality 1.25 eyepieces. Yoke mount makes the telescope easy to manage through altitude / azimuth (Up & Down, Left & Right) movement, and altitude slow motion control rod for precision adjustmentsMinimize
