The very precisely figured parabolical primary mirror of this telescope is made by BK7 optical glass that is free of internal stress, and it housed in a high-ventilation aluminum cell with cooling fan. For maximum contrast, the secondary mirror spider vanes have been optimized to be as thin as possible without losing stability, unlike many Newtonians that have thicker spider vanes resulting in a loss of contrast and image sharpness. Not only is this telescope well suited for astrophotography and for observing deep sky objects (Galaxies, nebulae, ...), but it's also great for observing the moon and the planets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe NEW \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"x-el x-el-span c1-2v c1-2w c1-b c1-92 c1-1j c1-1d c1-93\"\u003eRack and Pinion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e focuser with 10:1 2 speed control comes standard.  Providing enough lifting power for a DSLR or CMOS deep sky camera.   A motor can be added for even great automated control!  Split Tube rings with felt, to not markup the OTA tube finish, come with a vixen style dovetail with adjustment screws. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach StarField Newtonian comes with an 8x50 finder scope, cooling fan and battery case for the primary mirror, tube rings and Vixen style dovetail, and 2-speed rack \u0026amp; pinion focuser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e8\" f\/4 Telescope Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Design: Newtonian Reflector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture: 200mm (7.9\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal Ratio: f\/4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal Length: 800 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary Mirror: BK7 Parabolic primary mirror\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoatings: Minimum 92% reflectivity and protective quartz layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecondary Mirror Holder: 4-vane all metal spider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooling Fan: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube Outside Diameter: 9.5\" end rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube Length = 28\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped Dimensions: 34\"x16.5\"x14\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube Weight (with included accessories): 20 lb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped Weight: 28 lb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote:  Image shows the 6\" model for latest focuser design.  When we have an image of the 8\", we will change it out.  Thanks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"StarField Optics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39768734498929,"sku":"SFO-SF-N8-02","price":1140.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2766\/files\/SF-N06-02A_with_RP_Focuser_11f7e6e6-46e2-4b2f-9768-50a102159519.webp?v=1776458936","url":"https:\/\/khanscope.com\/products\/starfield-8-f-4-imaging-newtonian-telescope-sf-n8-02","provider":"Khan Scope Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
