Beginner-Friendly 8-inch Dobsonian Telescope

The Dobsonian telescope offers a bright, bold viewing experience at a fraction of the cost of other optical designs, thanks to its large aperture. Its proprietary tension control handles allow for accurate movement without the need for perfect balance, thanks to the patented design.

The fully multi-coated borosilicate primary and secondary mirrors deliver exceptional views, with a 94% reflective coating. This results in a faintest stellar magnitude of 14.2, allowing you to observe even the faintest celestial objects.

Smooth azimuth movement is ensured by the telescope's proprietary Teflon bearings, providing a seamless viewing experience.

The telescope comes complete with all the necessary accessories, including a 2-inch Crayford-style focuser with a 1 1/4-inch adapter, two super wide-angle eyepieces (25mm and 10mm), and a 9x50 straight-through finder scope. This comprehensive package ensures you have everything you need to start exploring the night sky right away.

Despite its impressive capabilities, the Dobsonian is designed to be sturdy and lightweight. When fully assembled, the telescope weighs only 45 pounds, with a 20-pound tube and a 25-pound base. This makes it easy to transport and set up, even in challenging outdoor environments.

The telescope's parabolic primary mirror features Radian Aluminum Quartz (RAQ) coating, which enhances its light-gathering capabilities. With a maximum focal length of 1200mm, the Dobsonian delivers a 78% increase in light gathering compared to the next size down, providing you with stunning, detailed views of celestial objects.

In summary, the Dobsonian telescope combines a large aperture, proprietary tension control handles, highly reflective mirrors, smooth Teflon bearings, and a comprehensive accessory package, all in a sturdy and lightweight design. This powerful yet accessible telescope is the perfect choice for both beginner and experienced stargazers alike, offering a truly remarkable viewing experience under the night sky.
