Celestron_8Dob
My Celestron 8 inch Star Hopper Dobsonian. It's a reflector type telescope of the Newtonian design with a Dobsonian Alt-Azimuth mount. It's all Manual, no electronics. Unless I attach a camera to it.z
Telescope Specs:
Maximum Height Overall: 57"
Maximum Height to the Eyepiece: 48.5"
Weight of the Optical Tube Assembly: 22.5 lbs
Mass of Carriage (the base): 31 lbs
Effect Light Gathering Power: 630x the human eye
I believe the "Finder Scope" is a 6x30 (6 times magnification, 30 mm main lens). []CORRECTION: It appears the finder scope is a 9x50 - I measured the main lens, it's 50 mm. It was not standard with the Star Hopper, I upgraded to it.]
