Unlock the wonders of the universe with the Explore FirstLight 80 mm Telescope Go-To Tracker Combo (FL-80640-iEXOS) — an all-in-one astronomy kit designed for beginners and hobbyists who want powerful performance in a portable setup. This system pairs a bright 80 mm refractor telescope with a precision Go-To equatorial tracker, allowing you to automatically locate and follow celestial objects with ease.

The optical tube features fully coated 80 mm lenses and a 640 mm focal length (f/8), delivering clear, sharp views of the moon, planets, star clusters, and brighter nebulae. The included iEXOS-100 PMC-Eight Go-To mount uses a multi-core controller for smooth tracking and can be controlled via the ExploreStars app or ASCOM-compatible software.

A 25 mm Plössl eyepiece, 90° diagonal, red-dot finder, and smartphone adapter provide everything needed to start observing and even capturing basic astrophotography. With glow-in-the-dark mount markings, counterweights, and battery power support, this kit is built for convenient setup and on-the-go stargazing.
