The designers took a classic 80mm long-range terrestrial and astronomy telescope, gave it an easy to use and comfortable eyepiece then packaged the optics in a tasteful and elegant old-fashioned telescope look.

This classic 80mm refractor benefits from an up to date makeover and features a fully adjustable height all Mahogany and solid brass tripod with manual movements for easy target finding.

You only have to glance at this deluxe instrument to see what it's main point of interest is - the fine heirloom look!
