Celestron Travel Scope 80 Portable Telescope with Backpack & Smartphone Adapter. The Travel Scope 80 Portable Telescope with Backpack & Smartphone Adapter 22030-CGL is a great refractor telescope for on-the-go viewing of the sky and land. At night, the Travel Scope 80 can see the planets, moon, star clusters, and more brilliant deep-sky phenomena like the Andromeda Galaxy and Orion Nebula. During the day, the optical tube is perfect for use as a spotting scope because of its erect image star diagonal.

Observe quickly and easily using a simple, no-tool setup. Two eyepieces (20mm and 10mm), a finderscope, an erect image star diagonal, and a smartphone adapter are among the accessories. For precise and fluid pointing, use the clutch-equipped Pan Alt-Az control handle. It's easy to set up the telescope, so you can start watching right away. The telescope and its accessories are easy to assemble, even for first-timers, taking only a few minutes. You can modify the telescope's height or set it up on elevated surfaces, such as a picnic table, thanks to the tripod legs' adjustable design. With a total weight of around 2 kilos, the telescope set is ideal for carrying along on spontaneous observing excursions or travels. Manual alt-azimuth : Use a pan handle to navigate the skies. With a clutch, the alt-az control allows for precise and fluid pointing.

Slide the clutch left or right or up or down to follow the item in the eyepiece. Included Accessories Two eyepieces (20mm and 10mm), an upright image diagonal, a finderscope, a smartphone adapter and a travel backpack are included with the Travel Scope 80.

With the two eyepieces, you can observe the object you're interested in at different magnifications. Right-side-up viewing is made possible by the erect image diagonal, which is useful for both celestial and terrestrial objects. You can more easily observe by centering an item in your eyepiece with the help of the permanently fitted finderscope.

Smartphone Adapter: Use this adapter to take pictures of earthly or celestial objects. This adapter lets you attach any smartphone to any telescope eyepiece that has an outer diameter of 45 mm or less thanks to its lightweight, sturdy frame. It is simple to install this smartphone adapter by simply clamping it over the top of an eyepiece. Tightening the knobs firmly locks your smartphone in place and holds it in position.

Never leave your optic unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.
