The Gen II Explore Scientific 10" Dob telescope is a beautiful piece of quality engineering.

From the ultra high quality 2" microfocuser to the unique and innovative collimating adjustments to the truss tube design and awesome 1270mm focal length, this scope is the ideal scope for the intermediate astronomer.

If you are left handed then the design design of this scope is ideal for you.

Note: Sirius Optics recommends the use of Orion 1lb magnetic counterweights (Part number: 125130) with this scope. 

• 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube assembly (OTA)
• Features Celestron's premium patented StarBright XLT optical coatings
• 2032 mm focal length (f/10)
• Fastar compatible
• Tube constructed of durable and lightweight aluminum
• Includes: 25mm eyepiece (81x), 6x30 optical finderscope, star diagonal, 1.25” visual back, CGEM style dovetail bar

NOTE: The recommended solar filter for this scope for solar observing is the Astrozap Glass Solar Filter (Product No. 124451) 

• 6” (150mm) f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain includes StarBright XLT coatings for better light transmission
• The most compact and portable of Celestron’s German equatorial mounts offers the same rigidity as our larger mounts with minimal flexure and an improved industrial design
• Holds a maximum instrument capacity of 30 lb
• Every feature an astroimager wants: PEC, an autoguider port, the ability to image across the meridian, and more
• Dual saddle plate is compatible with narrow CG-5 dovetails and wider CGE dovetail. Also compatible with Vixen format dovetails longer than 100mm, but not compatible with Losmandy D format plates.
• Latitude range allows the mount to perform between 7° and 77° latitude
• Accessories include a 25mm eyepiece, 1.25” star diagonal and 6x30 finderscope

The 6” Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube offers 40% more light gathering ability than a 5” telescope. The Schmidt-Cassegrain design also eliminates chromatic aberration, making it a good choice for entry-level astroimaging.

NOTE: The recommended solar filters for this scope for solar observing are;

- the Orion 185 mm (7.17") Glass Solar Filter (Product No. 125081) or

- the Meade Glass White Light Solar Filter 172 - 180 mm (Product No. 125918).
