A complete scope plus tracking mount astrophotography package — ready to find and follow the sky.

This bundle pairs the ED80 Essential apo triplet refractor with the iEXOS-100 PMC-Eight GoTo mount, so your setup can automatically point to and track objects as they drift across the sky — essential for taking clean long-exposure photos. The included field flattener keeps stars sharp corner-to-corner, and everything you need to balance and aim is in the box.
