It is ideal for observation of the Moon, planets and Earth. With a lens diameter of 80 mm, you capture enough light to see clear images. Thanks to the short focal length of 400 mm, you enjoy a large field of view. This makes it easy to view galaxies such as Andromeda or the Orion Nebula at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"90357\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-AC-80-400-Telescoop-StarTravel-OTA-2.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher AC 80\/400 StarTravel OTA with 6x30 viewfinder and 45\u00b0 Amici prism, side view.\" class=\"wp-image-90357\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clear and detailed image<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The achromatic lens gives sharp and high-contrast images.
