Description: Apertura AD8 Dobsonian 8" Telescope with Accessories. Solid Construction and Quality Components The Apertura AD8 8" Dobsonian telescope features solid construction and quality components. Its 8" parabolic mirror is made from quality materials, and finished with an aluminum and silicon dioxide coating that delivers 93% reflectivity to ensure the brightest possible images. The primary mirror sits at the end of the optical tube in an adjustable mirror cell. If the telescope were to ever become misaligned, this mirror cell can be adjusted with hand-knobs in conjunction with the included laser collimator to ensure perfect alignment--no tools required! The optical tube assembly is made from steel for durability and beauty and is fitted with a machined aluminum 2" dual-speed, 10:1 Crayford-style focuser for smooth, easy focusing. A Dobsonian is perfect for beginners as well as advanced amateur astronomers. Unlike computerized telescopes, a classic Dobsonian does not find objects for you. You do that yourself. It may be a challenge at times, but you will have the honor of learning the night sky. To set the Apertura Dobsonian up for a night of viewing, just put the rocker box on fairly level ground, set the optical tube in the cradle, slide the finder scope on, put an eyepiece in the focuser, and start observing. There are no motors or electronics to deal with, and you won't hear anything except the hum of the fan during cool down. To move the telescope, push or rotate it in the direction you wish to go, and use the 8X50 finderscope to help you center the object in your field of view.
