Anyone who has spent much time in the field looking at stars with amateur astronomers is sure to have heard the term "light bucket." Effective yet inexpensive, "light buckets" provide amateur astronomers with the aperture needed to view faint deep sky objects. With the quality and precision designed into the Zhumell 8" Dobsonian Reflector Telescope, you can have a really nice bucket for gathering all of that starlight. With a traditional Dobsonian mount, the Dobson 8" is easy to use. A 2-inch focuser accepts a full range of 1.25" and 2" format eyepieces. The 8" mirror provides excellent contrast and definition. Combine these features with quick collimation screws (for easy alignment of your mirror), a black optical tube (which will acclimate to environmental influences more quickly than other colors), and an included laser collimator (to make alignment of your mirrors even easier) and you will see that the Zhumell Dobson telescopes are more like 5-gallon pails filled with spectacular views than your standard everyday light bucket.
