ZHUMELL Z8 DELUXE DOBSONIAN REFLECTOR TELESCOPE
Optical quality you can see
The Zhumell Z8 Dobsonian telescope features an 8” parabolic primary mirror that captures a substantial amount of light and produces crisp, bright images free of visual defects like spherical aberration. You’ll also get two fully multi-coated eyepieces: a 2” 30mm eyepiece for wide field views and a 1.25” 9mm eyepiece for higher magnification. With the Z Series, Zhumell has put your money where it belongs: into the telescope’s optical system.
Great mechanical performance and sturdy construction
Beyond the optics, the rest of the Z8’s design is simple and streamlined. A durable, sturdy construction means your Zhumell will stand up to years of use at public star parties, camping trips, and more.
Using this Dobsonian couldn’t be easier. A primary mirror cooling fan brings the telescope into thermal equilibrium quickly so you can enjoy long viewing sessions without delay. Once you’re set up, push the scope on its ball bearings toward your desired object. When you’ve centered your target in the 8×50 finderscope and your eyepiece of choice, bring it into razor-sharp focus with the dual-speed Crayford focuser. Then, lock your view in place with improved manual clutches. As your object begins to drift across the sky, the new adjustable azimuth bearing system facilitates smooth, even motion for tracking objects.
