GSO Dobson telescope N 200/1200 DOB (8236)

The GSO 8" F6 Dobsonian Telescope is a high-quality reflector telescope with a 200mm aperture, offering exceptional optical performance at an affordable price. Its parabolic optics and sturdy design make it ideal for observing deep-sky objects like nebulae and galaxies, as well as the Moon and planets. Easy to transport and simple to use, this telescope is perfect for beginners while also meeting the needs of more advanced users. With its excellent contrast, sharpness, and upgradability, it provides great value for amateur astronomers.

Advantages:

• High-quality optics: Parabolic primary mirror with a 200mm aperture and 1200mm focal length.

• Enhanced reflectivity: 94% reflective coating for brighter, high-contrast images.

• Precise focuser: 2" Crayford focuser with smooth adjustments, including a 1.25" adapter.

• Durable construction: Sturdy metal tube and adjustable mirror mounts ensure long-term reliability.

• Cooling system: Active main mirror ventilation reduces cooling time for optimal performance.

• Upgradability: Compatible with accessories for astrophotography, filters, eyepieces, and more.

Ease of Use and Setup:
The Dobsonian design ensures smooth manual tracking of celestial objects. The horizontal axis is equipped with ball bearings for smooth movement, while tension springs on the altitude axis provide controlled counter-pressure to maintain object alignment during eyepiece changes.

Active Main Mirror Ventilation:
A built-in fan behind the primary mirror accelerates cooling by blowing cooler air onto the mirror's back surface and expelling warm air from inside the optical tube assembly (OTA). This ensures quicker stabilization of the telescope's optics.

This GSO Dobsonian telescope combines excellent optical quality, robust mechanics, and user-friendly features to deliver maximum performance at its price range. It is highly recommended for beginners and advanced users who want a reliable instrument for enjoyable astronomical observations.
