ED80-FCD100 Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor Telescope with iEXOS-100-2 PMC-Eight Equatorial Tracker System and Field Flattener

An ideal choice for astrophotography, this bundle includes Explore Scientific's time-tested FCD100  Series 80 mm Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor, the iEXOS-100 GoTo mount powered by the revolutionary PMC-Eight tracker system, a field flattener and 2 extra counterweights.
