This is a Meade Adventure Scope 80 in very good condition. This is the same scope as the venerable Orion ST80. The optics are clean, with some minimal wear on the tube. However, it does not have a back on it. That means that unless you can find one, you can't use this with a diagonal and eyepiece as a visual scope.
This is just the bare OTA - no diagonal, no RDF, no eyepiece. The previous owner used this as a guidescope.
Additionally, note that the dew shield comes off too easily. You can easily fix this by lining it with some felt or tape to give better friction. We have obviously already taken this into consideration with the low price of just THIRTY BUCKS, out the door.

The Adventure Scope 80 is one of those bargains that makes you sit up and take notice. The telescope itself is worth the price of the package, and makes a great guide scope with the addition of some rings, and even a decent wide-field imaging scope for those on a budget (does require a tracking mount for astrophotography). This telescope gets good reviews from new and experienced astronomers alike. If you can get a back on it, we recommend it as a second grab and go scope. |
