Overview
When gathering light and exceptional quality are the most important features you're after, you don't need to look any further than the Zhumell Dobsonian. Large apertures, long focal lengths, dual speed crayford focusers, RACI finderscopes, and bases with easy-glide pads—unending star-gazing possibilities! Compatible with both 1.25 and 2 inch format eyepieces and priced below $1,000.
8"
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 nice bucket for gathering all of that starlight. With a traditional Dobsonian mount, the Dobson 8" is easy to use. A 2-inch dual speed crayford focuser accepts a full range of 1.25" and 2" format eyepieces. Finding the stars has never been easier now that the Zhumell comes with a Right Angle Correct Image (RACI) finderscope. The 8-inch, center-marked 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.
