The Ultimate Newtonian
8" f/6 all aluminum construction

Completed tube assembly.

 

Rear view showing exhaust fan and rubber feet. The feet allow the telescope to be stood on its end during setup.

 

Detail view of rotating head. This is a precision machined nesting, double ring assembly. Ring is fully adjustable for rotational friction and turns smoothly.

 

60 mm Stellarvue finder is standard equipment and can be mounted either next to the eyepiece ... 

... or on the top plate of the mounting rings.

 

Just drop the telescope into the clamping rings. The tube weighs about 20 lbs, and you get 8 inches of apo-like performance at a fraction of the cost.
