Celestron Starhopper, 12" Dobsonian Telescope with Eyepiece, Finder Scope, 2" Focuser & 1.25" Adapter.

• Celestron is proud to introduce our StarHopper series of Dobsonian telescopes available in 6", 8", 10" and 12" apertures. Dobsonian telescopes are recognized within the astronomy hobby as an excellent value for the aperture size, and our StarHopper line is as rich in features as it is in value.
• Our Dobsonian configuration is a Newtonian optical tube mounted on an altazimuthmount. The optical system features a large primary mirror at the bottom of the tube which collects light and concentrates it onto a small secondary mirror, which reflects the light out the side of the tube and into the eyepiece. Best of all, StarHopper Dobsonians are easy to observe with -- the user navigates through the night sky by simply moving the tube up or down, and left or right, by hand.
• All StarHoppers use optical quality BK-7 glass, this is the same high-quality glass used in most binocular prisms and refractor telescope lenses. All StarHoppers use a roller track bearing on the azimuth surface providing dozens of support points for smooth swivel motion. They also use a variable tension clutch system for proper balance and control in both altitude and azimuth. The 10" & 12" StarHoppers have cooling fans built-in to the rear cell to decrease cooling times. The 8", 10" & 12" models come standard with 2" focuser and 1.25" adapter. The 10" & 12" models come standard with a 32mm 2" eyepiece. 12" StarHoppers use a 9-point flotation mirror cell for equal support of the primary mirror.
