Zhumell DOB-8 8-inch Dobsonian Reflector Telescope


Anyone who has spent much time in the field looking at stars with amateur astronomers is sure to have heard the term "light bucket". Effective yet inexpensive, "light buckets" provide amateur astronomers with the aperture needed to view faint deep sky object. With the quality and precision designed into the Zhumell Dobson 8", you can have a really nic bucket for gathering all of that starlight. With a traditional Dobsonian mount, the Dobson 8" is easy to use. A 2" focuser accepts a full range of 1.25" and 2" format eyepieces. The 8" mirror provides excellent contrast and definition. Combine these features with quick collimation screws (for easy alignment of your mirror), a black optical tube ( which will acclimate to environmental more quickly than other colors), and an included laser collimator (to make alignment of your mirrors even easier) and you will see that the Zhumell Dobson telescopes are more like 5-gallon pails filled with spectacular views than your standard everyday light bucket.
