Review on Explore The Night Skies With The Orion SkyQuest XT8 Classic Dobsonian Telescope by Cody Bowie

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I LOVE THIS TELESCOPE!

I did a lot of research into which telescope to get. I own one by Coleman wich was decent but it did not give me the views of the planets like I wanted regardless of lens piece. This one however has not disapointed me! I can see the rings around Saturn easily! The finder scope helps you find the planets and stars dead on! I am very happy with purchasing this telescope. The only thing I will say is that it is heavy and not ideal for moving around your yard. I have a lot of trees so I tend to have to move it when I want to see particular planets if the trees are in the way. But I don't mind as long as its worth seeing the awesome view it provides!

Cons
  • The mirror is not coated, which can result in reduced image clarity and brightness
