Thanks to its f\/6.3 optical system, this telescope offers an ideal balance between brightness and sharpness. The 80 mm aperture provides sufficient resolution and contrast for lunar, planetary and deep-sky objects. This telescope excels in widefield astrophotography of, for example, the Orion Nebula, Pleiades or the Veil Nebula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Application and use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This OTA excels in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • \u2713 Widefield astrophotography with DSLR or dedicated CMOS cameras<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2713 Visual observation of moon, planets and bright nebulae<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2713 Nature observation with a reversing prism (optional)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2717 Not suitable for sun observation without a solar filter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2717 Not intended for beginners or toy mounts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Use this refractor on an EQ5, AM3, Star Adventurer or similar mount. With the right flattener, you will capture full-frame edge-sharp images without color aberration or vignetting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Expert advice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Omegon 80\/500 Pro APO Carbon<\/strong> is built for the serious observer or astrophotographer seeking top performance without a lot of weight or bulk. Thanks to the high-quality doublet lens with FPL-53 and S-NBM51 glass, you'll get pin-sharp stars - even to the edge of your full-frame image sensor. The focuser is sturdy enough for heavy camera setups, and the carbon tube keeps your focus perfectly stable throughout the night.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
