Telescope's

I have had this telescope since and is my First and current imaging telescope. 

 The Starwave 80ED-R is a more compact and refined version of the orginal Starwave 80ED. It has improved optics in the form of an S-FPL53 based doublet objective lens providing superior colour correction, and a lighter more compact tube with a "Rack and Pinion" geared focuser. 

• 80mm F7 ED Doublet with S-FPL53 ED Glass lens (555mm focal length).
• Dual Speed 1:10 ratio 2.5" Rack 'n Pinion (Geared) Focuser with brass rack gear and tension adjustment (ideal for imaging).
• Improved retractable dew shield with a tighter fitting than the V1 (tension adjustable with 3 nylon tipped grub screws).
• 2" to 1.25" eyepiece adapter with brass compression rings.
• 2x Tube rings with standard M6 30mm hole pattern (enabling the telescope to be balanced more easily for imaging, or dual-mounted as a guide scope).
• Standard "Vixen-format" dovetail bar.
• Push-fit lens cap and rear 1.25" dust plug.

I have Owned this telescope since December 2020 and is my scope I use for visual astronomy mainly.  

Sky-Watcher Dobsonian telescopes provide excellent all round performance for the observation the Moon, Planets, Deep Sky Objects and Nebulae. 

The Dobsonian mount, popularised by John Dobson in the 1970s, is a simple and efficient method of mounting a Newtonian reflector.

Based on the Alt-Azimuth principal Dobsonian telescopes are fast and easy to set up. It is a box-type mounting which allows the telescope to pivot in altitude, while the box itself is rotated on a base in azimuth. The secret of the design is to correctly balance the optical tube and use materials that enable it to moved easily when nudged but stay in position when not.

The mount is designed to be driven by hand as opposed to slow motion controls.

I have had this guide scope since September 2020 I use this with the GPCAM

 Guide Scope Kit:

• The Starwave 50mm Guide Scope kit, which includes:
• 50mm F4 Optical Tube with 1.25" non-rotating Micro focuser (with locking thumbscrew)
• Adjustable rings with Nylon Tipped thumbscrews
• Metal Finder Stalk
• Universal Finder Scope Base Code: UNIFBR 

50mm Optical tube focal length is 206.6mm (F4.1)  which is perfect for autoguiding a small refractor with GPCAM Camera.
The focuser has a 1.25" ID push-fit adapter with brass compression ring, allowing use of auto-guiding cameras or 1.25"  eyepieces.
The indexed micro-focuser can be locked, enabling the eyepiece or camera to set at the correct focus-point.
Because the focuser does not rotate, the guide camera is easier to focus and maintain alignment on-target.
The rear of the focuser also includes a T2 thread to allow the addition of extensions.
