A sealed tube, a lens at the front, and color to account for · review
EACONN's E-80AZ: an 80/600 refractor with fully coated green optics on a positioning gimbal with scales, K20 and K9 eyepieces, a 5x24 finder, a phone adapter and a backpack, sold with the same listing text as the AU-80.
The E-80AZ is an 80/600 refractor that packs, with its tripod and accessories, into a backpack. At f/7.5 the field is fairly wide, easy for finding the Moon and sweeping star fields, with a faint violet fringe on the brightest objects, normal for an achromat at this ratio.
K20 and K9 eyepieces for 30x and 66x, a 5x24 finder with a crosshair, a phone adapter, an adjustable tripod and a positioning gimbal with altitude and azimuth scales.
The bullets are identical to EACONN’s AU-80, down to the phone adapter’s two positions, and both cost $99.99 on November 7, 2026.
For planets, a 6 mm eyepiece (100x) or a 2x Barlow with the K9 (133x) is the useful next step.
On November 7, 2026, Amazon.com listed it at about $100 from a third-party seller.
