Amazing Scope in Its Class

I recently purchased this telescope, and have been giving it a go for several nights. Note that I am a novice, so there is a learning curve for me.

Assembly was easy, got great views of several double stars, and was able to see M92 and M13 in severe light pollution.

The major plus points of this Dob are the double focuser, which is amazing, and the curved vanes, which do seem to reduce diffraction spikes. The included eye pieces are a great start, I will purchase a Barlow lens and wide angle eye piece later to expand my viewing experience.

All in all, a great telescope for starters, plenty of apperture, easy to use, and ready to go after assembly.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're glad the assembly process was straightforward and that you're already achieving great results on double stars, M92, and M13. The dual focuser is indeed standout feature of this model. When you're ready to expand your kit with a Barlow lens or wide-angle eyepiece, our team is happy to offer recommendations. Enjoy your continued journey into astronomy!

Très satisfait.

Commande sans problèmes, bonne communication avec le marchant. Livraison impeccable. Assemblage aisé.

Un mois entre l'achat et que Dame Nature se décide à donner un ciel clair. Observation de chez moi dans un environnement pourrit (trop de lumières) et une demi-lune au zénith.

Bémol: les "inserts" (bushings) pour les poignées de maintient du tube ont tendance à tomber. Les coller sera la solution. Également, il n'y a pas de rangement pour les dites poignées, ce qui peut amener à les perdre si on transporte souvent, ce qui sera mon cas. Mais j'ai une solution...

J'avais déjà de l'expérience avec le Dob-8 prêté par mon club local. Je préfères la base et la monture de celui-ci. La collimation s'est faite sans problèmes. Le fait qu'il y ait un anneau de marqué dans le miroir principal aide grandement.
Le focus à 2 vitesses est une merveille. J'ai réussi à mieux "voir" qu'avec celui du club. Les oculaires qui viennent avec sont très bon (pour le novice que je suis). Je n'ai pas noté d’aberration optique. J'ai regardé la lune (Copernic était sur le terminateur!!), les bandes de Jupiter et 4 lunes, ainsi que la nébuleuse d'Orion.

Très satisfait de mon achat.
