**SOLD** Skywatcher Classic 200mm / 8" Parabolic Dobsonian Telescope was created by DaveM
Basic spec:- Magnifications (with eyepieces supplied): x48 & x120
- Highest Practical Power (Potential): x406- Diameter of Primary Mirror: 203mm
- Telescope Focal Length: 1200mm (f/5.91)- Eyepieces Supplied (1.25"): 10mm & 25mm
- Dual-Fit 1.25"/2" Focuser- Parabolic Primary Mirror
- 0.5mm Ultra-Thin Secondary Mirror Supports

- Wooden Alt-Azimuth Mount with Accessory Tray
Including the following accessories:
- custom-made Solar Filter for safe observation of the sun
- Next Generation Laser Collimator
- Dew Shield for spotter scope
The following modifications have been added to the original specification:
- the telescope tube exterior has been thermally optimised by fitting it with aluminised foil to reduce inverse tube currents caused by the chilling effect of the night sky.
- a 12 volt, 120mm x 120mm x 25mm High Air Flow 70cfm fan has been fitted behind the main mirror speed up cooling to ambient temperature.
- the secondary mirror edge has been darkened to reduce internal reflections / stray light inside the telescope.
- the focuser tube and the area inside the telescope tube opposite the focuser have been darkened to reduce internal reflections / stray light inside the telescope.
PM if interested!
