Hardin Optical STAR HOC 8 (160 x 200mm) Telescope Recommendations

This 8 f/4 STAR HOC reflector is a rich field telescope designed for Deep Space observation. Begin with the well known Messier objects like M31 (the Andromeda Galaxy) or the Pleiades (M45), and work your way through the other 108 galaxies, nebulas, and star clusters on Charles Messier's famous list. The 2-inch aluminum rack-and-pinion focuser makes it possible to use wide-field 2 as well as standard 1?? eyepieces. We've included an extra-large 8x50mm finder scope, and added two Astrola?? Pl??ssl eyepieces [9mm (89x) and 25mm (32x)]. You'll find the equatorial mount easy to use. The built-in polar alignment scope facilitates accurate tracking of celestial objects. Truly a scope for all seasons.
