R-80 Features
Introducing our SmartStar ® R-80
computerized GOTO telescope system.
Designed with the latest technology the 80
mm lens is crafted with a fluorite based, low
dispersion glass that is ground and polished
to exact specifications. The precision design
is excellent for viewing bright stars, planets
and their moons, as well as for bird
watching and other land objects. Two eye
pieces come standard to allow for flexibility
in viewing either a wider field or a single
focused object.
Alt-Azimuth Mount– The Cube™
The SmartStar ® R-80 refractor
telescope comes with our patented Alt-
Azimuth Mount, a.k.a. The Cube™. This
compact mount design is one of the most
functional and flexible units on the market.
Sky & Telescope
magazine named it “Hot
Product 2008”. Both axis motors are built
into a small single unit with optical encoders
that provide accurate GOTO and tracking.
The mount is universally compatible with all
telescopes using a dove-tail connector plate.
With an optional DC adaptor you can plug
your telescope mount into your car if you’re
camping or at any other remote location.
Easy to understand controller
The GoToNova ® hand controller is
much easier to use than other similar
products. The hand controller is more
intuitive with menu categories better
organized. It also has a larger LCD screen
with more lines of content compared with
the competition. Using the hand controller
and its large LCD screen you can quickly
set up your telescope and select where you
want to go.
More precise speed control for
viewing objects
The control system also allows you
to slew the telescope at 5 different drive
speeds, keeping the object within the
telescope’s viewfinder for as long as you
wish.
