This is a used Orion ST80 OTA in perfect, pristine condition. The optics are whistle clean and the body is completely unmarked. It's as if the previous owner put this in this case and then forgot about it. If you want low magnification, widefield views, just add a diagonal and eyepiece to this, and you're in business.
Includes the rings, Vixen dovetail, and Orion deluxe foam-lined case (a $39.95 value).

It's back! The Orion ShortTube 80-A achromatic refractor telescope is back in our lineup, by popular demand. It's the version of our ShortTube 80 achromatic refractor that's outfitted for astronomical observation (the "A" is for Astronomy).
The ShortTube 80-A is a compact, wide-field, take-anywhere astro telescope. You'll love the bright, expansive views it delivers. The telescope's 80mm objective lens and short 400mm (f/5) focal length are ideal for scanning the heavens. Its wide field of view makes it a great choice for viewing big deep sky targets, and its portable size makes it easy to bring along on trips to dark skies. You'll see fascinating star clusters, wispy nebulas, and even galaxies, but this compact refractor also serves up detailed images of the Moon's cratered surface, Saturn's rings, and other solar system targets.
The ShortTube 80-A's doublet objective lens is multi-coated for excellent light transmission. It is housed in an all-aluminum tube that's just 15" long, with a 1.25" rack-and-pinion focuser on one end and an aluminum dew shield on the other that extends more than 3" out from the lens to prevent dew formation and block off-axis glare.
Lastly, the ShortTube 80-A includes two felt-lined, hinged tube rings for attachment of the telescope to the compatible mount of your choice.
Let the Orion ShortTube 80-A 80mm Refractor Telescope introduce your whole family to the wonders of the night sky! And for the astro hobbyist who already owns a bigger telescope, the ST80-A makes a wonderful grab-and-go second telescope to have on hand! Assembled weight, 4 lbs. 10.6 oz.
