EACONN E-80AZ review

An 80/600 refractor on an alt-azimuth head, supplied with two eyepieces, a 5x24 finder, a phone adapter and a backpack.

The bottom line The portable half of the 80 mm class: wider framing, easier carrying, and the usual colour cost of a fast achromat.

Eighty millimetres in a short tube

The objective is 80 mm and the focal length 600 mm, which works out at f/7.5. Against the 900 mm refractors on the same shelf, this one frames wider and packs shorter; against them it also asks a little more of its eyepieces, because fast ratios are harder on simple designs.

The supplied pair, named properly

The maker’s bullet names K20 and K9 — two Kellner eyepieces. Six hundred divided by twenty and by nine gives the 30x and 66x the listing advertises. Those are the eyepieces speaking, and swapping either changes the number.

A 5x24 has a 24 mm objective and five times magnification. It works on the Moon and on bright stars and it struggles on everything else, which is why a red dot finder is such a common first purchase for telescopes in this class.

What the backpack really buys

A complete 80 mm set that leaves the house. The most common reason a telescope stops being used is that setting it up is a project; a set that lives in a rucksack by the door does not have that problem.

What it publishes, and what it withholds

Strengths

  • f/7.5 on an 80 mm keeps the low-power field wide, which helps when finding things by hand
  • Backpack carry for a full 80 mm set is uncommon at this size
  • The phone adapter has marked positions for each supplied eyepiece

Compromises

  • A faster achromat shows more colour on bright targets than a long one does
  • The 5x24 finder is the small kind, with a 24 mm objective doing the work
  • The maker quotes 30x–66x, which is a pair of eyepiece results rather than a tube property

What observers ask about this one

How does this differ from the 900 mm refractors nearby?

Same aperture, shorter focal length. This one frames wider and is easier to carry; the long one magnifies more with the same eyepiece and tolerates simple eyepieces better.

What are K20 and K9?

Kellner-type eyepieces of 20 mm and 9 mm focal length, named in the maker’s own bullet. Dividing 600 by each gives the magnifications the listing quotes.
