Nebulae, that can only be barely detected in smaller scopes, start to reveal structures within. The excellent Hexafoc focuser boosts a large 2.5\" diameter so that you don't have vignetting in big widefield eyepieces that can occur in smaller focuser barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe big altitude wheels handle the large heavy optics without issue - and if you decide to use even larger accessories (like a bino-viewer with two eyepieces) then you can move the tube in its tube rings and achieve balance within seconds. If you need to transport or store the telescope, the rocker box disassembles (and re-assembles) very easily.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTelescope Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical design: Reflector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMirror diameter: 203 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal length: 1218 mm \/ f\/6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum recommended magnification: x 406\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh quality BRESSER Newton optics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParabolic primary mirror\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary mirror diameter: 203 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.5\" HEXAFOC focus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprimary mirror made using special-purpose glass with very little thermal expansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShifting-free focusing, even with heavy accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to move the tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRocker Box easily Disassembled \/ Reassembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOTA can be attached to other mountings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifferently sized adjusting- and lock-screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet weight OTA: (incl. accessories) 11.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal length: 128 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal width: 48 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal height: 48 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube diameter: 250 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube length: 1150 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Weight total (incl. accessories): 21 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet weight mount (incl. accessories): 9.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhats included:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewtonian OTA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture solar-filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6x30 viewfinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25mm SuperPloessl eyepiece (Ø 31,7 mm \/ 1,25'')\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Extension shell 37,5mm for 2.5'' Hexafoc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Eyepiece adapter Ø 31,7 to 50,8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Tube clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Altitude wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Rockerbox with 2 ground boards and assembly material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(24, 154, 35); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eTOP TIP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: This Telescope is also available with a special upgrade pack for an enhanced viewing experience - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.horizonastronomy.ie\/collections\/telescopes-bundle-upgrade-kits\/products\/bresser-messier-203-dobsonian-telescope-8-solar-system-upgrade-pack\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Bresser Messier 203 Dobsonian telescope upgrade bundle kit\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eClick here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDownload the Bresser Dobsonian Manual \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1924\/6275\/files\/Bresser_Messier_Dobsonian_Telescope_Manual.pdf?v=1631206262\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 11px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSAFETY NOTICE:\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cspan\u003eNever look directly at the Sun through your Binoculars or Telescope - immediate and permanent eye damage may result.
