Product Description

The Orion SkyQuest XT8 Classic Dobsonian Telescope combines powerful optics with the ultimate in mechanical simplicity and stability. It features a precision 8-inch (203mm) parabolic primary mirror, center-marked at the factory for precise collimation and mounted in a cast-aluminum support cell that provides maximum ventilation. The mirror pulls in 73% more light than a 6-inch, enough to tease out dust lanes in nebulas, resolve the cores of prominent globular clusters, and reveal subtle structure in elusive galaxies. You're in total control as you point the telescope effortlessly to your target object anywhere in the sky. The 46-inch-long enameled steel tube glides on its sturdy Dobsonian telescope base. A gentle push or pull on the navigation knob puts you right in the observing pocket. The SkyQuest XT8 Classic features a 2-inch Crayford style focuser that accepts both 1.25-inch and 2-inch accessories. Speaking of accessoires, the XT8 comes with a host of great ones. You get a Sirius Plossl 25mm telescope eyepiece (48x), an EZ Finder II reflex sight, an Orion quick-collimation cap, and a snap-on dust cover. For the intrepid beginner to the veteran skygazer, the SkyQuest XT8 Classic Dobsonian Telescope lives up to its billing by Astronomy magazine as a work of art.

Orion 27194 XT8 Classic Dobsonian Telescope and Beginner Barlow Kit Review

The Orion XT8 is a fantastic telescope. Instructions are very easy to follow and Telescope is simple to put together. Give yourself a good 30 minutes to put it together. It is on the heavier side if youre use to smaller aperature Telescopes but well worth it. The views are spectacular. The only thing that is slightly difficult to get use to is perhaps the single handle for traveling. The main part moves slightly and can seem wobbly at first, give yourself time to properly adjust to moving the Telescope before actually transferring it outside. The EZ II finder works fantastic, may need a slight adjustment, but is a very simple fix. I recommend using a polarizing moon filter for great detailed views of the moon. Great Telescope and great company. Orions customer service was very helpful when I needed tracking information.
