This 8'' Dobsonian has a large aperture (203mm), the aperture is the factor for a telescope's light gathering power, the greater the aperture the brighter/clearer the view, which means a bright image delivery is easily achieved. This telescope has excellent wide field and deep-sky exploration properties due to its high levels of magnification, making this model an ideal choice for its cost
