Saxon is Australian largest brand of quality optical gear that began trading in 1990. They are the largest distributor of optical equipment in Oceania.

Their goods are manufactured in the same high-tech factory as the as the Sky-watcher and Nova (60mm, 70mm & 114mm etc) products but with increased warranties, more accessories and generally better value.

The SAXON 80mm (3.1") telescope is a two-element, air-spaced, fully multi- coated objective refractor telescope. The 80mm is a well- proven performer which gives good astronomy viewing of nebulae, bright galaxies, planets and the Moon as well as excellent terrestrial views, a great general purpose telescope.

These telescopes perform well as a fixed aperture lenses for both astrophotography and terrestrial photography. With a suitable T-adapter, a camera can be connected directly to the T-mount thread on the eyepiece holder that allows closer focussing for terrestrial photography.
