Description

Prepare to be amazed with our SkyView Pro 8 EQ reflector. It’s got a full 8″ (203mm) parabolic primary mirror, which gathers 73% more light than a 6″. Observe the Messier Catalog and a host of other deep-sky objects with the reach of this scope! And if you’re into the Moon and planets, SkyView Pro 8’s 1000mm focal length (f/5) gives you the appropriate image scale to resolve the finest detail. The tube features an upgraded 2″ Crayford-style focuser with a 1.25″ insert, which affords a limitless choice of optional 1.25″ and 2″ eyepieces (two 1.25″ Sirius Plossl eyepieces are included). The secondary mirror is securely mounted in a sturdy 4-vane holder. An 8×40 finder scope on a quick-release bracket helps you locate your targets. The stalwart SkyView Pro EQ mount features enclosed 360-deg worm gears, dual manual slow-motion controls, and steel tube tripod legs for excellent stability. One-year limited warranty.
