Giant 80mm objectives have a serious amount of light grasp, yet they weigh just 4 pounds! Fabulous for astronomy when used with a tripod. Also excellent for wildlife observation and surveillance, and the 80mm objectives really help when light levels are low. Lightweight enough to be hand-held for daylight viewing, but most will find 20x magnification difficult to hold steady- so a built-in mount is included. Adjustable fore and aft, you’ll be able to obtain perfect balance on your tripod head.

Low-reflection broadband multi-coating is used on every air-to-glass surface, including prisms. Light loss due to reflection and scattering is minimized, providing the highest level of light transmission possible. 14.5mm of usable eye relief means you’ll see the entire field of view even when wearing eyeglasses.

Like all LW’s, it has a rugged rubber-armored aluminum body, all-glass lenses, BAK4 prisms, right ocular diopter adjustment, fold-down eyecups, caps, and neck strap. Also includes a lightweight hard case.
