#ORION SKY QUEST XT8 SOFTWARE#

This user-friendly software displays realistic simulations of the stars in the sky to help you learn more about astronomy.The Orion CorrecTension Friction Optimization system makes this Dobsonian Orion a breeze to set up. Dust caps for the focuser and telescope are also included along with Starry Night Special Edition software. If you ever need to align the mirror, the quick collimation cap helps you accomplish the task effortlessly. Moving the telescope to position the red dot over an object creates the proper aim for viewing. You will see a red dot in the dot sight's small, circular viewing window. Follow an easy procedure to align the Easy Finder II with the telescope, and then turn it on. The focuser substantially reduces backlash and flexure. The focuser's mechanism enables you to smoothly and accurately adjust the focus. You can study the moon's craters, the 'canals' on Mars, and the rings of Jupiter and Saturn with ease.The removable 1.25-inch adapter on the 2-inch Crayford focuser allows it to accept both 2-inch and 1.25-inch accessories. Brighter nearby objects should be visible in great detail. You should even see individual stars in the cores of the clusters and some of the structure of the galaxies. On good nights, you should be able to observe faint star clusters, nebulas, and galaxies. Using the above guideline, a maximum magnification of 400x is all that's needed. The Orion SkyQuest XT8 has a minimum magnification of 29x. To calculate the maximum useful magnification, double the opening in millimeters or multiply the opening in inches by 50. The 25-millimeter Sirius Plossl 1.25-inch eyepiece provides a magnification level of 48x with a 52-degree field of vision. In fact, the ability to collect as much light as possible is more important to quality viewing than magnification. With this Orion classic telescope's 1200-millimeter focal length and moderate-to-high magnification, clear nights should provide crisp views. Transmitting as much collected light as possible to the eyepiece provides you with brighter, clearer views of dim, distant objects. The Orion SkyQuest optical tube also contains reflector optics to further improve the transmission of light. In addition, the mirror's enhanced coating increases its reflectivity to 94%, transmitting more collected light to the eyepiece. With its 8-inch parabolic primary mirror, the Orion XT8 5.9 collects a vast amount of light. The sharper the image becomes, the more details you will be able to see. The more light that's collected, the sharper the image becomes. The larger the mirror and aperture opening, the more light that telescopes can collect from the object being viewed. The large aperture of the Orion SkyQuest XT8 5.9 Classic Dobsonian Reflector Telescope provides you with high-quality nighttime viewing.
