Daylight optics that double for the Moon · review
Three Triping's GN80EDXD3: a 20-60x80 ED spotting scope with fully multi-coated optics, an 8-element, 6-group layout, a BAK4 porro prism, dual focusing, a nitrogen-filled IPX7 body, a phone adapter, a tripod and a case.
Three Triping publishes what few spotting-scope listings do: an 8-element, 6-group lens configuration, fully multi-coated, with a BAK4 porro prism behind an 80 mm objective. The title adds ED glass.
A fast knob brings the target close to focus, a fine knob finishes it. At 40x to 60x that is the feature that shows most.
Nitrogen-filled, waterproof and fog-proof, rated IPX7 in the title, with shock-absorbing rubber armor.
A phone adapter, a tripod, a carry case, lens covers and a cleaning cloth. The eyecup adjusts for glasses.

One knob moves focus quickly to the target; a second fine knob sharpens it. At 60x, fine focus makes the difference.
The title says ED; the feature bullets describe the multi-coating, BAK4 porro prism and 8-element layout without repeating ED. Ask the seller to confirm.
