<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif"><span style="font-size:16px">&nbsp; &nbsp; The Equinox 80 is another excellent choice for birding, nature study, and photography. Its fast, high-contrast optics and generous field of view make it an ideal instrument for studying larger clusters and star fields, and it is a proven performer for astrophotography. </span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif"><span style="font-size:16px">&nbsp; &nbsp; You can even use it with a common SCT focal reducer to achieve speeds down to f/4.5! But don&rsquo;t be afraid to push up the magnification, too. Its crisp optics make it a strong performer on tight double stars, and it provides crisp, clear lunar and planetary images with no image breakdown, even at 150x.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif"><span style="font-size:16px">&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span></span></span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:times new roman,times,serif; font-size:16px; line-height:1.6em">Metallic High-Transmission Lens Coatings&nbsp;</span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:times new roman,times,serif; font-size:16px; line-height:1.6em">Each air-to-glass lens surface has exotic anti-reflection metallic coatings applied to ensure optimum light through-put of approaching 99.5%.
