ETX80 Backpack Telescope Package main features

1.25" Super Plössl Eyepieces
Any astronomer will tell you that light gathering - not power - is what matters. A small, crisp image is better than a large hazy one. Meade's 1.25" diameter Super Plössl eyepieces provide wider fields of view, allowing you to see more of the sky at greater magnifications.

45º Erecting Prism
Provides a comfortable viewing angle for extended observing sessions. Also makes daytime observation easier with corrected, right-side-up, right-to-left viewing.

High-quality Expedition Backpack
Comfortable backpack holds the telescope and everything you need to explore the world around you.

Bubble Level/Compass
Makes initialization faster and easier.

Internal Time Chip
Set-up is now quicker and easier. Time and date are now precisely calibrated at Meade's factory.

Lightweight, Compact Aluminum Tripod
Holds view steady without sacrificing portability. Ready to go at a moments notice. Convenient, built-in eyepiece holder means your eyepieces will always be at the ready.

494 AutoStar® Computer Controller
The AutoStar computer controller automatically guides your telescope to over 1,400 objects. View planets, stars, galaxies, and nebulas all at the push of a button. Don't know what to see on a particular night? Don't worry. Just select the Tonight's Best™ tour and AutoStar will automatically take you on a guided tour of the best planets, stars, nebulas and other objects out that particular night. Want to know more about what you're looking at? The LCD display teaches you about what you're viewing with details like distance, temperature, mass, and historical information. AutoStar is your guide to the universe.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.

During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.

Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
