Skywatcher AC 80/400 AZ-3 Telescope StarTravel

Compact, clear and immediately ready for action

The Skywatcher AC 80/400 AZ-3 gives you a wide, bright view of the sky. You'll see results quickly, even if this is your first telescope. The 80 mm lens captures enough light to show the Moon tightly and clearly. Craters stand out clearly, and shadows gain depth. You can immediately see why this is an ideal scope to start with.

Large field of view for spectacular sky objects

The short focal length provides a wide image. This makes finding objects much easier. You pick up large areas at once: perfect for nebulae such as Orion or the Andromeda Nebula. Your image remains clear because the telescope allows a lot of light through. This makes it feel like the objects are getting closer.

More detail in planets

Despite the compact design, you see a surprising amount. Jupiter shows cloud bands. Saturn shows its rings. Thanks to the higher resolution, you see more detail than on smaller entry-level models. Everything stays quiet in focus, so you can watch relaxed.

AZ-3 mount: smooth aiming without hassle

The AZ-3 mount makes viewing easy. You move the telescope smoothly in any direction. You make fine adjustments with the flexible axes. This keeps every object in focus, even at higher magnifications. You point, turn a little and look on. That's all you have to do.

Light and easy to carry

The aluminum tripod is sturdy but light. You set it at the right height and you're ready. Ideal for the garden or a dark spot just outside the city. You move the whole set without effort.

Ready to use

With the included eyepieces, 2× Barlow and a red-dot viewfinder, you can get started right away. You choose a low magnification to find something quickly and switch to a higher one when you want to see more detail. That way, this telescope works exactly the way you want it to.

For whom this is the perfect choice

You want a telescope that works easily and gives instant results. You want to view large sky areas AND have enough magnification for planets. You're looking for something light, compact, affordable and user-friendly. The Skywatcher AC 80/400 AZ-3 fits those needs perfectly.
