Unlike other truss tube designs, the \u003cb\u003eSky-Watcher 8\" Flextube Dobsonian Synscan Telescope\u003c\/b\u003e does not need to be disassembled between uses. It transports as two compact pieces that can be assembled and ready to use in just seconds! This Dobsonian is easy to collimate once set up, and it holds its collimation throughout the evening! The patented Tension Control Handle allows users to add or reduce tension, thereby increasing or decreasing the friction between the optical tube and the sideboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included SynScan AZ hand control allows you point your Skywatcher 8\" Flextube computerized telescope at a specific object, or even tour the night sky, at the touch of a button!!
