This is a like new unit that a customer bought, used once, and then decided that the hobby was not for them.  It is in pristine condition, with not a mark or sleek anywhere on it.  Comes with all the items that normally come stock with a new scope, including the tools and the manual.  This one comes with 2 70-degree eyepieces, a 20mm giving 60x, and a 12.5mm giving 96x.  

Because this is assembled, it cannot be shipped. It is available for in store pickup only.

 

 

An 8" Dobsonian can be a lifetime workhorse of a telescope. It's a great size to start out with. Even when people get bitten by the aperture bug, they will commonly keep a trusty 8" Dobsonian around as their scope to pull outside for a quick look or take on a trip.

  • 1200 mm focal length (f/5.9)
  • 2” single-speed Crayford-style focuser with 1.25” adaptor
  • 20mm and 12.5mm 70-degree 1.25” eyepieces
  • 9×50 finderscope

The Sky-Watcher Traditional Dobsonian Telescope 203mm/1200mm (8″) has a “paraboloidal” primary mirror to eliminate spherical aberration and a four-arm, secondary- mirror bracket with fine supports (0.5mm thick), to reduce diffraction spikes and light loss. In addition, this model include a 2″ focuser with a 1.25″ adapter, allowing the use of either eyepiece size. This model also include the new feature-tension control handle.
