Anyone looking for a good starter telescope should consider the Messier R-80 as one of the favourite choices. The Messier R-80 has 77% more light-gathering power than a standard 60mm beginner scope. The brighter images make it easier to detect subtle details and increases the joy during observations. This telescope will outperform those standard scopes without burdening the observer with a large additional weight. The craters of the moon will look magnificent in the Messier R-80, and even the rings of Saturn can be seen from a distance of 1.4 billion km!
