Product Description
With a large 206mm (8 inch) primary mirror and a 1000mm focal length, this reflector telescope rates at an awesome f/4.8. That means this reflector telescope is ideal for backyard astronomy and is a great introductory telescope if you are serious about learning all about astronomy. With that kind of light gathering power you will be able to observe deep space objects like nebulae, star clusters and galaxies, all while enjoying jaw-dropping views of the Moon, Jupter's Red Spot, and the Rings of Saturn. This heavy-duty dual axis motorized EQ mount gives you total control over your 8 inch telescope. Rock solid stable, it allows you track any object in the night sky with ease. Plus it has a built in polar alignment scope to make it easy to hit the North Star. Our Dual Axis Motorized EQ Mount comes with its own steel tripod. With both Right Ascension and Declination motor controls, you can track any object in the night sky with a touch of a button. To make your polar alignment easy, the mount has a built-in polar alignment scope, just look through it and aim at the north star. Plus, the RA controls can be set for either the Northern or Southern Hemisphere. This telescope comes with 3 Plossl eyepieces with storage containers, and a Barlow 2x lens.. Your telescope also comes with a dust-free cleaning cloth, a great map of the surface of the moon and a moon filter designed for reducing moon glare and making surface details more clear, and a poster of the solar system. The star finder scope is massive too. At 8x21, it is the largest finder scope we offer and makes stargazing that much easier.

Telescope,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black TwinStar 8" Reflector Telescope EQ Mount Fast f/4.9, Dual Axis Motor Drive (Electronics)
Bought this for my husband for Father's Day 2010. Its an excellent telescope but difficult to move around and transport due to its size. But otherwise a fine investment!
