This is the talking telescope that provides audible descriptions and educational facts about the celestial object being viewed. An integrated speaker draws from a database with over four hours of audio to state facts like "Jupiter is larger than 1,300 earths" or "Mars has volcanoes, deserts, and polar ice caps." Users can select from a database of 30,000 celestial objects via the handheld controller and the motorized telescope automatically rotates and tilts to align its lens with the constellation, planet, or nebula. For optimal astronomical viewing, the telescope uses its location and current time to determine the best direction for celestial observation and automatically adjusts to those coordinates. The telescope has a 102mm refractive lens, 800mm focal length, and an LED viewfinder. It comes with 9mm and 25mm eyepieces and an adjustable aluminum tripod. Requires eight AA batteries. 31" L x 29" W x 58" H. Minimize

Galaxies and nebula appear to pop out of the heavens as bright, expansive masses of stars, gas, and dust.Observing with the 8" Sky-Watcher DobsonianIf you have never before observed through a high-quality, wide-field Dobsonian, like the SW 8" DOB, you are in for one of the sweetest experiences in amateur astronomy. Imagine the exhilaration of opening a clam and discovering a pearl.The sky is full of pearls, astronomical pearls. While they won't make you rich in the financial sense, for amateur astronomers at least, observing the fabled pearls of deep-space is a rich and even exhilarating pastime. A catharsis for the soul that renders the mundane insignificant, and reconnects us with the inner child who revels in awe and wonderment.A night observing with the SW 8" Dob can leave you with a lingering sense of contentment long after the evening's viewing is over. Some of amateur astronomy's most revered & enthusiastically observed extra solar-system objects are now within your reach. This telescope provides entry into the brotherhood of serious amateur astronomers you have arrived!Sky-Watcher Dobsonians Epitomize Ease-of-UseObserving with a Dobsonian has been described akin to shooting ducks in a gallery because it is so easy to find your target. Just swing your SW DOB to the quadrant of sky to be searched, & scan the vicinity. An 8x50mm Right Angle optical viewfinder provides magnification & light-gathering to help narrow your search for those elusive fuzzies when star-hopping. The included backlash-free 2" Crayford Focuser insures ultra smooth focusing adjustments. Multi-coated, 4-element Plossl eyepieces (25mm & 10mm) provide a spacious 52 degree Apparent Field of View.Sky-Watcher Uses Quality Components ThroughoutThe Sky-Watcher 8" DOB utilizes quality components throughout. Pride of workmanship manifests itself in high quality standards of optical & mechanical fabrication. The polishing process for primary & diagonal mirror yields smooth mirror surfaces ensuring good contrast, & properly corrected optics show minimum alterations to the optical wave-front.On each primary mirror, & elliptical diagonal mirror aluminum is vacuum deposited to the front glass surface and then over coated with hard quartz (SiO4). Additional layers of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) & (SiO4) are then applied. Dust covers help keep your DOB clean when not in use. Minimize

This is the telescope that determines which celestial bodies are the best to view and automatically moves to bring the images into optimal view. Winner of the Consumer Electronic Show award for Design and Engineering Excellence, the telescope uses its location and the current time to find the optimal direction for celestial observation. A built-in camera takes images of the sky at the touch of a button, and the telescope compares the photographs to an internal database of 4,000 stars, planets, and galaxies, and hones in on the celestial bodies in three minutes--faster than any self-aligning telescope available. Aspiring astronomers can also select celestial bodies from the database using the tethered controller and the telescope will automatically orient itself relative to the night sky. The telescope has a 70-mm aperture and a refractor optical design that provide high contrast images, a 700 mm focal length that yields a maximum usable magnification of 78X, and a 91' field-of-view at 1,000 yards that displays wide expanses of sky.
