Orion Sirius 8" EQ-G GoTo Reflector Telescope with Eyepiece, Tripod & Equatorial Mount, 2" Caryford Style Focuser and Software

The Orion Sirius 8 EQ-G GoTo Reflector Telescope with the GoTo controller, can command the telescope to swing to any of 42,900 celestial objects selected from intuitive menus on the controller. Dual internal stepper motors then move the telescope at up to 3.4° per second right to your target object, tracking it while you observe or photograph it. The built-in autoguider interface, periodic error correction (PEC) and an included polar scope is for accurate polar aligning.

At its heart is an 8" (203mm), center-marked parabolic mirror of 1000mm focal length (f/4.9). The tube features an upgraded 2" Crayford-style focuser with a 1.25" insert and drawtube tensioning knob. Other features include ten slew rates from 1.5x to 800x sidereal and large R.A. and Dec. locking levers. The tripod is remarkably sturdy, featuring extendable 1.75"-diameter stainless steel legs. To power the mount you will need a 12V DC battery or an AC-to-DC adapter for use of 110V power.
