I think if you look at the last photo and zoom in it says Celestron Firstscope 80EQ on its side?

In 1995 Celestron introduced its "Firstscope" series in the 60mm telescope. The Firstscope 60 was the basic f/11.7 alt-az telescope with a 5x24 finder and .965" accessories. The Firstscope 60 Deluxe replaced the .965"" accessories with a hybrid diagonal and two 1 ¼" eyepieces. The Firstscope 60EQ was the basic 60mm optical tube and .965"" accessories on a light equatorial mount. The Premium 80, replaced the old Firstscope 80 this same year, and just to make things confusing, a Firstscope 80EQ was now added with the 80mm f/11.4 optical tube on an equatorial mount. Following up on this, the Firstscope 80WA was offered with an 80mm f/5 optical tube on an equatorial mount.
