Pie Matrix 80 APO ED Triplet Telescope

Advance AstroPhotography

The ED 80mm is built for astrophotographers who need optical precision from first light to final frame. Its ED apochromatic glass corrects chromatic aberration at the source, producing tight, color-true stars across the field with none of the purple fringing seen in achromatic scopes. At 550mm focal length and f/6.9, it's fast enough for shorter exposures and wide imaging circles, capturing large nebulae, galaxy fields, and star clusters with pinpoint-sharp stars edge to edge.

True Apochromatic Clarity

The Triplet is a 80mm ED apochromatic refractor engineered for astronomers who demand pin-sharp, true-to-life views. Its ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements virtually eliminate chromatic aberration, delivering crisp, high-contrast images free of the false-color halos common in ordinary achromatic telescopes. With a 550mm focal length and f/6.9 focal ratio, the 80mm ED APO strikes the perfect balance between wide-field views and fine planetary detail — equally at home resolving Saturn's rings or framing a nebula for astrophotography.

Built for Serious Observing

Every feature on the ED Triplet is designed for precision and portability. The 2" dual-speed Crayford focuser lets you nail focus down to the pixel, while the dual-format M48x0.75/M52x0.75 extension tube ensures easy compatibility with standard imaging trains and accessories. A retractable dew shade protects your optics in the field, and the Vixen-style dovetail plate allows tool-free mounting on any standard mount. At just 4.5 kg, the ED 80mm Triplet is light enough for grab-and-go sessions yet capable enough for serious visual and astrophotography work.
