And the resolution of those details will be crisp and detailed, often visibly superior to larger telescopes more easily affected by atmospheric conditions.Īn optional TeleVue Qwik-Point non-magnifying illuminated finder quickly attaches to the scope's mounting ring. For observing somewhat more distant objects, optional eyepieces and/or Barlow lenses will provide high powers to let you examine details in the storm belts of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, the mountains of the Moon, and much more. This lets you use it as a long distance microscope to view or photograph those wee beasties too dangerous or skittish to approach closely, such as hornets' nests and spiders in their webs. The TV-85 will focus as close as 15' (even closer with optional extension tubes). With an optional 1.25' 40mm TeleVue Plössl (15x, with a 2.8 degree field), or a 2' 55mm TeleVue Plössl (11x, with a 4.6 degree field that's wide and flat to the very edges), the TV-85 is not only a superlative rich field scope, but it is its own best finderscope, too. Put in an optional lower power eyepiece and the TV-85 becomes a true rich field telescope, capable of scanning wide scenic vistas by day and revealing multitudes of large, faint deep space objects by night. The split ring design allows the TV-85 to be moved fore and aft in the adapter to balance the weight of camera or accessories.

A retractable lens shade improves daytime contrast when viewing at low sun angles, while a thread-in metal dust cap protects the optics from damage while stored or travelling.Īn optional split-ring tripod adapter allows the scope to be mounted on any optional sturdy photo tripod for casual use, or on an optional equatorial or altazimuth mount (such as the TeleVue Panoramic and Gibraltar mounts) for more serious observing.

It comes in a soft foam-fitted Cordura nylon carrying case that has cutouts for eyepieces and other accessories. The TV-85 has a 2' dual-speed rack and pinion focuser with a brass non-marring clamp ring to hold star diagonals and accessories in place.

As dusk fell and Canada Geese settled almost invisibly onto Sapsucker Woods pond, the TeleVue resolved the same crisp feather detail at 75x as the Kowa could at 60x, and when we backed the TeleVue down to 60x, it was as if a light had been turned on inside the scope.' Dr. This scope is a real gem!' Chris Cook writing for Sky & Telescope Whether you are traveling half way around the world to photograph a total solar eclipse or just casually observing from your backyard, the Tele Vue 85 offers today's amateurs an extremely powerful, compact instrument capable of delivering stunning images of the universe around us. The scope's mechanical construction is also first class all the way. 'The Tele Vue 85mm f/7 APO refractor is truly an incredible instrument with superb, well-corrected optics.

Stars were absolutely pin-sharp and the sense of being in space when looking through a low power, wideangle eyepiece is astonishing.' Ninian Boyle writing for Astronomy Now Full Review On a bright near full Moon, I could detect no false colour whatsoever. There are many such telescopes that do this with greater or lesser success the TV-85 does it superlatively. Apochromats are designed to eliminate all false colours from the image. It is an apochromatic doublet lens of 600mm, giving a focal ratio of f/7. With APO performance and airline portability, the Tele Vue-85 has been delighting astronomy and birding enthusiasts and reviewers alike.
