8 Inch Classic Dobsonian Telescope - S11610

With bright, sharp, detailed views and a closed-tube design that prioritizes the 8-inch primary mirror, the Sky-Watcher Classic Dobsonian is an excellent entry-level Newtonian reflector for visual astronomy. With a visual limiting magnitude of 14, it excels at observing faint nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters, with parabolic mirror Newtonian optics and very thin secondary mirror spider vanes for sharp lunar and planetary detail. The patented Tension Control Handle allows you to adjust tension between the telescope tube and rocker box, enabling the telescope to point and lock at any position in the night sky, then move smoothly when ready to observe your next object. The 2-inch Crayford focuser with 1.25-inch adapter allows use of both 1.25-inch and 2-inch eyepieces and accessories.
