State-of-the-art features and crisp clear celestial views make the Konus Konusky 200 Newtonian Reflector Telescope with Dual Axis Motor ideal for the serious astronomy enthusiast. This Newtonian reflector telescope features a 200mm-diameter objective lens and an overcoated primary mirror for optimum light transmission as well as a 1000mm focal length. The precision heavy-duty Super Polar Evolution Mount is motorized on both axes and it includes a polar scope and a sturdy steel tripod.

As the 16th century came to a close the groundwork for modern astronomy was being laid by the Dane Tycho Brahe. Improving upon existing astronomical equipment through instrument design and calibration Tycho was able to achieve observations far more accurate than any previous ones. Able to correct for atmospheric aberrations Tycho plotted the stars and planets with great accuracy providing Johannes Kepler with the information he needed to plot the orbits of the planets accurately. By challenging the views of his contemporaries Tycho Brahe ushered in a new era of astronomy.Zhumell has introduced the Tycho 254 in the same spirit of expanding the horizons of astronomy. The Tycho 254 features a 254mm objective mirror providing the light you need to explore our solar system. The Newtonian reflector design does not suffer from the chromatic aberration present in other telescope designs. A 1600mm focal length allows you to achieve useful magnification up to 600x. Excellent for viewing nebulae binary stars and comets due to the large objective size the Tycho 254 is also well-suited for general observation of planets and the moon. For those inclined to chronicle their stellar observations the F/6.3 focal ratio allows for excellent photographic use of the telescope. With the Tycho and your keen eye perhaps you will be the next to revolutionize the galaxy of astronomical knowledge.

The popularity of our NexStar 114 models inspired us to go bigger! We are proud to introduce NexStar 130 SLT. The NexStar 130 SLT has 30% more light-gathering power than our 114mm telescope. And the 130 SLT like the other models in the SLT Series comes with a fully computerized hand control. The computerized hand control gives you the ability to automatically track to view any of its 4000+ objects including over 600 galaxies 300 clusters and dozens of beautiful binary stars.With its pre-assembled adjustable steel tripod the NexStar 130 SLT can be up and ready to use in a matter of minutes. Our new SkyAlign alignment technology and the included StarPointer Finderscope with a red LED makes aligning a breeze. View the details of the lunar surface the rings of Saturn the polar ice caps on Mars the cloud belts on Jupiter or a number of the Messier objects such as the globular cluster in Hercules (M13) or the Great Nebula in Orion (M42). Begin to explore some of the fainter Messier objects using the additional light-gathering capabilities of the 130 SLT’s 5" primary mirror. Because of the Newtonian design the mirror gives fully color-corrected views that are best suited for astronomical use.Portable User-friendly Design Powered by 8 AA user-supplied batteries or an optional AC adapter this NexStar telescope is ready to travel. The internal battery compartment provides power to the high precision servo motors for rigid low-vibration performance while eliminating cord wrap issues associated with external battery packs. With the NexStar's ergonomically-designed hand control the user is free to remove the hand control from its holder for remote use or leave it cradled for hands-free operation.

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 Dobson 8-inch you can have a really nice bucket for gathering all of that starlight. With a traditional Dobsonian mount the Dobson 8-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. Finding the stars has never been easier now that the Zhumell comes with a Right Angle Correct Image (RACI) finderscope. The 8-inch aluminum oxide/silver oxide-coated center-marked mirror provides excellent contrast and definition and offers 1/12-wave wavefront accuracy along with 92-94% reflectivity. Combine these features with a cooling fan quick collimation screws (for easy alignment of your mirror) a black optical tube (which will acclimate to environmental 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.Mirror Coatings - Aluminum plus Sio2 (Silicon Dioxide)
