## Description

Celestron - 80mm Travel Scope - Portable Refractor Telescope - Fully-Coated Glass Optics - Ideal Telescope for Beginners - Bonus Astronomy Software Package - Digiscoping Smartphone AdapterThe Celestron Travel Scope 80 weighs just 3.3 pounds and assembles in seconds with no tools required. It’s easy to use to navigate the sky. When your observing session is over, everything packs up into the handy included traveling backpack. Your purchase also entitles you to a FREE download of Celestron’s BONUS Starry Night Astronomy Software with information on 36,000 celestial objects, printable sky maps, and more. It’s the best way to learn about the night sky and plan your next observing session. Our smartphone adapter is a must-have digiscoping accessory that allows you to connect any smartphone to any telescope eyepiece with an outside diameter of 45 mm or smaller. The additional magnification provided by the eyepiece allows your phone to capture great images of the Moon and planets. Celestron is the world’s #1 telescope brand, with telescopes in world-class research observatories and even aboard the International Space Station. Now your family can enjoy a quality Celestron telescope in a portable package and at a price to fit your budget.Celestron Omni 2X Barlow LensA Barlow lens is the astronomy accessory that keeps on giving! Insert it between your eyepiece and your telescope to get double the magnification instantly. Let’s say you have two eyepieces in your accessory case, a 10 mm and a 25 mm. Add a Celestron Omni 2X Barlow Lens to the mix, and now you have four magnifications to choose from. Combining this lens with the 25 mm provides double the magnification, or the equivalent of a 12.5 mm eyepiece, while the 10 mm gives you the power of a 5 mm eyepiece. Eye relief is the distance your eye has to be from the first lens in the eyepiece in order to see the full field of view. When you use a Barlow lens with an eyepiece, you get double the magnification, but the eye relief is not affected. This is a good thing, because normally the shorter the focal length of the eyepiece, the less eye relief you have. In other words, a standard 10mm eyepiece, as a general rule, will have better eye relief than a 5mm eyepiece. Bonus! The Celestron Omni 2x Barlow comes in a sleek, silver package. The two-element optics are fully multi-coated, and the edges of the lenses are blackened to cut down on internal reflections. The 1.25” barrel will fit in standard 1.25” focusers and diagonals, and the Barlow will accept 1.25” eyepieces. A metal thumbscrew locks the eyepiece firmly in place.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We Dearly Love Ours!!
*by H***6 on October 16, 2021*

We could not be more pleased with our Travel 80!! We picked it up before our National Park tour this fall through Great Basin, Zion, Bryce, Capital Reef, Arches and Canyonlands. We loved the backpack option and the tripod is nicer than any of the ones I use on my Nikon DSLR, so they did not scrimp on that. The lens are fine but we did add a Barlow 2x, moon filter and 32mm into the mix for our use. The backpack is perfect and offers plenty of protection for it. It was in our Jeep bouncing around and not once did I need to readjust our spotting scope. I did keep it wrapped in bubble wrap in the case just to be extra careful! Our kiddos (8) are now hooked on astronomy. We saw Jupiter and (4 moons perfectly), Saturn and its rings, Neptune was a dot but we could! The moon was awesome through this scope! Do yourself a favor stop reading and buy it already!
