Celestron CELESTRON Flextube 200 Dobsonian 8-inch Collapsible Large Aperture Telescope – Portable, Easy to Use, Perfect for Beginners (S11700)

Description

Corresponding to the escalating aperture fever that has gripped amateur astronomy for several decades, an inches diameter is now generally regarded as the minimum entry-level aperture for serious observing. The low, large diameter, and fast focal ratio of the inches sky-watcher dobsonian make it an ideal dedicated telescope for wide-field, deep-space observation of faint galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. The low-power dramatically captures wide swaths of sky in single view. Galaxies and nebula appear to pop out of the heavens as bright, expansive masses of stars, gas, and dust.
