Designed to support the needs of astrophotographers, this astrograph delivers sharp, well-corrected views while also providing the optical performance needed to capture stunning astrophotos. At a focal length of 800 mm, this telescope is not an ideal option for capturing photos of planets. This Newtonian reflector can also be used for visual observing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You'll See and Why It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWith a 2\" Crayford focuser and enhanced aluminum and silicon dioxide (quartz) coatings applied to both mirrors, this Newtonian Astrograph delivers incredible imaging performance and stunning \u003cspan\u003ehigh-contrast views of the cosmos\u003c\/span\u003e. The fast f\/4 focal ratio and wide 8\" aperture collect plenty of light, meaning this telescope performs well on a variety of celestial objects, and the 800 mm focal length is perfect for capturing the intricate details of distant nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters. A set of felt-lined tube rings is included, as well as a 8x50 finderscope and finderscope bracket. The primary mirror is equipped with a cooling fan that accelerates the time need for the optics to reach temperature equilibrium with the external environment. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"oriontelescopes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51587558539560,"sku":"09505","price":699.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8886\/7880\/files\/8_f_4_Newtonian_Astrograph_Reflector_Telescope_angled_forward_left.jpg?v=1786721875","url":"https:\/\/www.telescope.com\/products\/orion-8-f-4-newtonian-astrograph-08297","provider":"oriontelescopes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
