Meade Polaris 80mm German Equatorial Refractor Telescope - 216002
Meade Polaris 80mm German Equatorial Refractor Telescope Meade's new Polaris telescopes offer a sleek, streamlined way to observe celestial objects. This 80mm refractor telescope is perfect for beginners, plus it includes everything you need for a great night of observing. The stable German equatorial mount features slow motion controls so you can precisely track celestial objects like the Orion Nebula or Pleiades Star Cluster as they appear to drift across the sky. Unlike altazimuth mounts, your Polaris mount is aligned to the celestial pole and your precise latitude, so you can follow objects exactly as they move overhead. Meade has applied its UHTC coatings to all air-to-glass surfaces on the Polaris telescope. That means you'll get enhanced light transmission for bright, sharp, detailed views of the Moon's craters, rings of Saturn, moons of Jupiter, and beyond. Take this small-but-mighty telescope to a dark sky location and you'll see all the best celestial objects. Not sure whe
