You expect nothing less than crystal-clear images in your scope, but what are you going to do with the mount and tripod you already have? Mount it with the saxon 200DS Astrophotography Newtonian Telescope, that's what!

Combined with the aperture of 200mm and focal length of 1000mm, this scope is great for prime-focus photography. Higher quality images can be achieved with the optional coma corrector.

9.25" diffraction limited Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope

For customers wishing to fit solar filters, the outside OTA diameter is 272 mm.

NOTE: For solar viewing the Astrozap Glass Solar filter (Product No. 124446) is recommended.

8" diffraction limited Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope

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

If your requirements for stargazing are reliability and performance, the saxon 8" DeepSky Dobsonian Telescope will not disappoint.

This easy-to-use telescope comes with an amazing aperture of 203mm and a focal length of 1200mm in an 8" optical tube. Assembly of this scope is quick and painless with no additional tools required. See the planets, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies with this quality, affordable scope. 

NOTE: to protect your scope optics from dust in storage we recommend the Pegasus 6-8" Dust cover for the bottom of your scope. (Product Number 126685)
