Description

    A Window Into The Night Sky

    With 8 inches of light-gathering power and a fast focal ratio, this Newtonian reflector is a workhorse that is a perfect tool for observing and imaging nebulae, galaxies and star clusters while also providing striking views of our solar system’s top sights. Its focal ratio of f/5.9 delivers the wide field of view and shorter exposure times that are crucial for deep sky astrophotography. The Dobsonian mount is simple to operate, smooth to move and enhanced with a spring tension system to maintain tube balance and accommodate optional accessories.

    • Smooth Dobsonian mount is easy for astronomers of all skill levels to operate and has a spring-based tension system to maintain tube balance

    • 1219mm focal length delivers a fast focal ratio of f/5.9, which means brighter images, a wider field of view and shorter exposure times for astrophotography
