The Explore Scientific ED80-FCD100 is a premium apochromatic air-spaced triplet refractor featuring genuine HOYA FCD100 extra-low dispersion glass that delivers exceptional chromatic aberration correction and true-to-life color fidelity comparable to Ohara FPL-53 glass. Its 80mm aperture and 480mm focal length provide a balanced combination of portability and optical performance, with the air-spaced triplet design and proprietary EMD multi-layer coatings virtually eliminating chromatic aberrations for brilliant high-contrast views of lunar details, planetary rings, and deep-sky objects. At just 7.5 lbs, this compact telescope excels as a standalone grab-and-go instrument or as a versatile guide scope for astrophotography setups.
