The optical tube: parabolic mirror for high contrast and sharp images
The heart of any telescope is a good optical tube: the 8" (203 mm) parabolic design primary mirror offers high sharpness right to the edges of the image. And all to give you the best observing experience.
The key to the world of galaxies
The 203 mm apertures open the door to a new world of deep sky objects. You will see globular clusters thousands of light-years away shining through your telescope like millions of diamonds, or even galaxies, star fields like the Milky Way.
Objects captured by the telescope:
- Globular clusters
- Planetary nebulae
- Galaxies
- Open star clusters
- Hydrogen fogs
- Planets, comets and more
The 8" Newton opens a new door to the universe thanks to its mirror, which captures 75% more light than standard 6" (150 mm) telescopes and allows you to explore hundreds of objects in the night sky.
Digital encoder: the navigator for your telescope
Digital encoders on the azimuthal and elevation axes tell you your position in the sky at all times. This Dobson telescope integrates the technology of the large equatorial mounts.
Your smartphone: your route to the stars
All you need is your Android smartphone. Simply downloading the SkySafari® 4 Plus astronomy app turns your smartphone into your telescope's control center and you can use its color screen to view the night sky in real time, search for celestial objects and reposition the telescope with ease. In addition, as you move the telescope in the right direction, you will see a reticle simultaneously scroll over the sky chart on your cell phone.
SkySafari® Plus is a paid app available in the Google Playstore. Push+ is not compatible with Apple iPhones and iPads (devices with the iOS operating system)
GP Profile
The rocker features the GP rail profile Vixen, i.e. you can install virtually any telescope with a rail on the rocker and benefit from the Push+ system. It is especially recommended for Newtonian reflecting telescopes up to 8" in diameter.
Explore the night sky with Push+ and never fail to find celestial objects.
