Lovely Light Bucket!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 object. With the quality and precision designed into the Zhumell Dobsonian 10-inch you can have a really nice bucket for gathering all of that starlight. With a traditional Dobsonian mount the Dobson 10-inch is easy to use. A 2-inch dual speed Crayford focuser accepts a full range of 1.25-inch and 2-inch format eyepieces. The 10-inch aluminum oxide/silver oxide-coated mirror provides excellent contrast and definition and offers 1/12-wave wavefront accuracy along with 92-94% reflectivity. Mirror Coatings - Aluminum plus Sio2 (Silicon Dioxide)Combine these features with a powerful cooling fan quick collimation screws (for easy alignment of your mirror) a black optical tube (which will acclimate to environmental temperature 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.Features Include:10-inch fully multi-coated optical mirror2-inch dual-speed Crayford focuserCooling fan8x50 RACI finderscopeIncluded 2-inch-to-1.25-inch eyepiece adapterQuick collimation screws for easy mirror alignment32mm 2-inch-format wide field and 1.25-inch 9mm Plossl eyepiecesZhumell 1.25-in. laser collimator included Extend the usefulness of your scope with a Zhumell Eyepiece and Filter Kit.
