Our Startravel 80 tabletop 80mm (3.1") f/5 refractor telescope is perfect for newcomers to astronomy, or those wishing to combine portability with good optical performance. The compact Sky-Watcher STARTRAVEL series are two-element, air-spaced, multi-coated objective, achromatic refractors, and are well proven performers for 'Rich-Field' views of star fields, clusters, nebulae, bright galaxies, planets and the Moon, as well as giving excellent terrestrial views. These wide-field, short-tube telescopes are also highly portable. All models also excel as fixed aperture lenses for both Astrophotography and terrestrial photography. Our Startravel 80 tabletop telescope is manufactured by Sky-Watcher, one of the most respected telescope manufacturers - products you can trust, representing great value for money. Supplied with carry bag. |

Startravel 80 Tabletop Refractor Telescope
| “Its design
is that of a traditional astronomical telescope ... but
its also suitable for watching wildlife. Focusing
was with the traditional rack and pinion assembly,
which was smooth to use. The lowest power eyepiece
(25mm) provided a x16 magnification, which gave an
estimated field of view of 2.5 degrees. Stars remained
sharp across 75% of the view. With this eyepiece,
widefield views were particularly good; open cluster
M44 was a delight. These wide views did seem to make
the background sky lighter, but we could still make
out the brighter Messier objects and even spotted
the galaxy NGC 2903 in Leo. At higher magnifications
the galaxy group of M65/M66 and NGC 3628 could be
seen, and by adding the Barlow lens to the 10mm eyepiece
we split Algieba and Castor ... Saturn was also clear,
with Tian and Rhea visible. Overall score 87%” BBC

”I have used a great number of telescopes; some are good, some mediocre and some bad. To me the Sky-Watcher range of instruments are very good indeed, and suited to amateurs of all kinds – and they are not priced out of the market! Excellent value.
Use them and enjoy them.“
Sir Patrick Moore CBE FR
