| The Garrett Optical Signature Series GT80-45 binocular telescope is an excellent choice for serious astronomical observation or long-range daytime observing. This instrument can accept standard 1.25" telescope eyepieces for unrivaled flexibility and magnification range. Each includes a pair of 20x wide angle eyepieces, though most users will want to expand their eyepiece selection to cover the sweet spot around 20x to 60x magnification. The flat-field objective lenses come into their own when mated with premium eyepieces, delivering contrasty views of deep space objects and solar system targets alike. The GT80-45 features a pair of 80mm F/6.9 doublet objectives. All air-to-glass surfaces in the objectives and the prisms are broadband multi-coated, and the precisely-polished prisms are crafted from high-index BaK4 optical glass. We recommend the Helix Manufacturing 8-inch of 10-inch fork mounts for mounting the GT80-45. Each binocular telescope is built like a tank, and its sleek black finish makes it easy on the eyes. Each features precision individual helical focusers, angled at 45 degrees for ease of use when observing near the zenith. Also included is a suitcase-style carrying case (click on the "Larger Photo" button above for a picture). Collimation for is tested at over 100x magnification by a highly experienced technician, and each instrument comes with an individual certificate of optical and mechanical quality. Buy the GT80-45 for the ultimate two-eyed observing experience. Covered by our two-year warranty and 30-day return policy. |
