Celestron Travel Scope 80 with Backpack Portable Telescope with Smartphone Adapter

Explore the night sky and the world around you with the Celestron Travel Scope 80, a portable and versatile refractor telescope designed for both terrestrial and celestial viewing. Its lightweight design makes it an excellent choice for backyard observing, outdoor adventures, travel, and spontaneous stargazing sessions. With its 80mm aperture, the Travel Scope 80 provides bright views of the Moon, planets, star clusters, and brighter deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy. During the day, the erect-image star diagonal produces correctly oriented views, allowing the optical tube to double as a convenient spotting scope for terrestrial observation. Setting up the telescope is quick and straightforward. Even first-time users can assemble the telescope and its accessories in just a few minutes. The adjustable tripod legs allow you to customize the telescope's viewing height or position it on suitable raised surfaces such as a picnic table. Weighing just 4.5 pounds as a complete telescope kit, the Travel Scope 80 is easy to transport and ready to accompany you wherever your next adventure takes you.

Accessories Included

The Travel Scope 80 comes with two eyepieces (20mm and 10mm), erect image diagonal, finderscope, a smartphone adapter, and a travel backpack. The two eyepieces offer different magnifications to view your intended object. The erect image diagonal allows for right-side-up viewing ideal for terrestrial subjects but can also be used for celestial objects. The permanently mounted finderscope will help you quickly center an object in your eyepiece for easier observing.

Smartphone Adapter – Image celestial or terrestrial objects with this smartphone adapter. With its light, rigid frame, this accessory allows you to connect any smartphone to any telescope eyepiece with an outside diameter of 45mm or smaller. The additional magnification provided by the eyepiece allows your phone to capture great images of the Moon and planets.  This smartphone adapter installs easily by clamping over the top of an eyepiece.  The smartphone is held in position with the help of tightening knobs that securely lock your phone in place. Some large and/or bulky phone cases (including folio style cases) may need to be removed for the phone to fit in the adapter.
