The ED80S uses the higher quality FPL53 Fluorite glass rather than the FPL52 or FPL51 types. FPL53 Fluorite glass suppresses chromatic aberration and is very well suited for short focal lengths unlike the FPL52 or FPL51 types. The optical tube greatly benefits from metal knife-edge baffles (not the plastic less effective step-type) that prevent stray light outside the field of view from reaching the focal plane. Knife-edge baffles markedly increase image contrast.
The dual speed Crayford type focuser, main tube and lens assembly are screwed into each other for maximum rigidity, no peripheral screws are used as they can compromise the rigidity of the telescope. This eliminates movement and ensures orthogonality.
The ED80S refractor features a high quality precision 1:10 two-speed Crayford type focuser with a 2″ drawtube (1.25″ adapter included), retractable metal dew shield, finder scope saddle, CNC rings with 1/4″ photo tripod threads, broadband fully multi-coated optics and comes complete with a quality padded travel-case or alternatively with a hard aluminium re-enforced padded case.
With a focal length of 500mm (f/6.25) the ED80S is also very well suited for wide field astrophotography, guiding as well as for nature photography.
The aluminium case.
With a minimum total length of only 39cm and 80mm aperture the ED80S is the perfect travel scope. All you need to start using the ED80S is a photographic tripod, diagonal and eyepieces.
Opticstar ED80S Gold Dual Speed shown with optional finder scope and bracket.
Focusing the Finder Scope
Loosen lens-cell B by turning it anti-clockwise. Turn the locking ring A clock-wise. Point the finder scope to a distant object, ideally a star, and bring the finder scope to focus by turning lens-cell B clock-wise or counter clock-wise as required. Once you have reached focus turn locking-ring A op.
Focusing the finder scope.
The ED80S Gold as a Spotting Scope
The ED80S is ideal as a spotting scope due to is excellent optics and compactness. You will need a prism diagonal to obtain a corrected view through the ED80S as with any other refractor. With a prism diagonal the ED80S will focus down to 11 meters, with the addition of a 2 inch extension tube the ED80S will focus down to 6 meters. We highly recommend the padded case as this can by carried over ones shoulder and provides ample storage space for the ED80S and its accessories.
