8" f/4 Imaging Newtonian telescope - for astro photography and rich field observation |
- fast and diffraction limited reflector system (f/4)
- high definition parabolical primary mirror, better than typical Chinese mirrors
- bright image by forced 94% mirror coatings
- good field illumination by 70mm secondary mirror
- robust mechanical system, no tilting/bending even under heavy camera load
- improved Monorail focuser with 1:10 dual speed transmission - more stability compared with Crayford designs
- ideal for travelling: tube length only 58 cm, weight only 6 kgs with rings and finderscope.
- GSO 8" f/4 Newtonian telescope is a strongly recommanded combination for astro photography as well as visual observing. We also offer high quality coma correctors for this fast imaging newtonian telescope.

Fast and Precision Optics |
The precisely figured 8" f/4 primary mirror is made from BK7 optical glass for enhanced thermal stability. BK7 is far superior in thermal characteristics to soda lime float glass - the glass used in consumer products like cookware - that's used in many reflectors in this price range. The mirror is coated with enhanced aluminum to at least 92% reflectivity and coated with a protective layer of SiO2 (quartz) for durability. The primary mirror is mounted in a cell with six external push-pull collimation knobs on the back of the tube, and the center-marked primary makes collimation with a laser a snap.
With a cropped-sensor DSLR camera or an astronomy camera such as the ZWO ASI071MC-Pro with an APS-C sensor, this scope gives a field of view across the diagonal of nearly 2 degrees, more than enough to frame the brightest regions of extended deep-sky objects like the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies, the Orion Nebula, and the Horsehead Nebula. |

BRESSER EXOS-II Dual Motor EQ Mount |
Mount and Tripod. The BRESSER EXOS 2 is a rugged mount with high rigidity and precision tracking for visual observation and astrophotography. The tripod is extremely rigid to suppress vibrations really well. This model is very well machined and has a polar finder scope and precise graduated circles. A powered twoaxis control (BRESSER Exos Duo) or a GoTo-Kit is available as an optional extra. The BRESSER EXOS 2 can take the weight - depending on length and use of up to 13 kg. This allows you to use refractors of up to 152 mm aperture and mirror telescopes of up to 203 mm aperture. |

The high-quality 2" Crayford focuser |
The 2" Crayford focuser with 1:10 speed reduction is included. Accessories are evenly clamped with a brass compresssion ring. The 1.25" reducer is equipped with a brass ring, too. The focuser will not wobble even when used with heavy cameras. With the 1:10 speed reduction, precise focusing is possible. Point-shaped stars over the whole field are the result. |
|
Tube and Mounting Rings |
The tube of this imaging Newtonian is made from rolled steel for good thermal stability and it's capped with end rings of die-cut aluminum for protection and rigidity. It includes a dust cap. The scope also comes with two split-hinged die-cast aluminum mounting rings with felt lining to protect the finish of the tube. These rings make it easy to rotate the tube to bring the focuser and finder to the most comfortable viewing position. The bottoms of the rings have threaded mounting holes for a Vixen-style mounting plate (which is included) or an optional Losmandy-style plate. The tops of the two rings each have two threaded M6x25mm holes that are 7.5" apart so you can install a separate dovetail to mount other accessories such as a guide scope.
The tube has an attractive outside gloss white finish and a matte black interior finish to reduce stray reflection and increase image contrast. The tube is 9.15" in diameter (9.3" at the end rings), 27.75" long, and it extends beyond the focuser to act as a shield to prevent stray light from entering the tube and reducing image contrast. The primary mirror cell also includes a low noise, long-lifetime cooling fan powered by 8 AA batteries (batteries not included). |
