1.1. SmartStar® R-80 Features

Introducing our SmartStar® R-80 computerized GOTO telescope system. Designed with the latest technology the 80

mmlens 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.

GoToNova® Computerized Control System

The revolutionary GoToNova® computerized control system is by far the most technologically advanced automated tracking system available on the market today. With a database of 10,000+ celestial objects including all of the more famous galaxies, nebulae, star clusters— not to mention the planets—you’ll be able to enjoy star gazing with the simple push of a button.
