Vixen - ED80Sf 80mm ED Apochromatic Refractor Telescope Package with Portamount

The ED 80SF was initially listed as an entry level APO, but now with so many astronomers giving us such glowing reviews, it
appears that we will need to reclassify this product!

The ED80Sf refractor features high-grade glass and quality components. Coupled with a medium f/7.5 focal ratio, the ED "S" series
provide a sharp, color-free image of high contrast. At only 22.4", this is our ultimate grab-n-go APO travel scope.

PortaMounts



For so many years the beginning astronomer was forced to buy a mount that was unstable and almost useless when
viewing at high power. More often than not, the frustration of using an unstable mount resulted in the
telescope only being used for one night and being left in a closet to collect dust. The Porta mount changes
all that. It is one of our proudest designs. The combination of smooth movement, rigid design and stable
platform makes your first use a pleasure and will bring you back to view more and more of the night sky.

The PORTA comes equipped with two fine adjustment handles for whole circle slow motion in both directions. It
is useful for fine motion used in searching and tracking of celestial objects. In addition it is a great mount
for terrestrial viewing. Our gear drives it make it a simple matter to precisely track a planet or a ship on
the horizon by simply turning the elevation and or azimuth control handles. The 'World-Standard' dovetail
attachment system on PORTA was developed by Vixen. This allows the PORTA to accept various dovetail mounted
optical tubes and binoculars.
