The Explore Scientific ED80-FCD100 Series is a premium 80mm air-spaced triplet apochromatic refractor featuring genuine HOYA FCD100 extra-low dispersion glass that virtually eliminates chromatic aberration for stunning, high-contrast views of deep-sky objects and planetary detail. This f/6 telescope balances portability at just 7.5 lbs with excellent performance, combining proprietary EMD multi-layer coatings and a rugged 2.5-inch hexagonal focuser capable of supporting up to 10 lbs of imaging gear. The package includes a field flattener optimized for f/5 to f/7 refractors, making it ideal for both visual observation and astrophotography, while its compact design with integrated dew shield and Vixen-style dovetail makes it an excellent grab-and-go scope or auxiliary guide scope.
