Thanks to the large diameter, the DOB 8 "GOTO SynScan telescope is ideal for visual observation, allowing observation of both solar system objects, as well as nebulae, star clusters and galaxies. The telescope tubes of this series are folded, making this equipment even though It is easy to store and transport in a good way.
Unlike other folding constructions, Sky-Watcher telescopes do not require dismantling the tube for transport. They are transported in the form of two elements - Dobson's assembly with the GOTO system and a folded tube. Such a telescope requires only a delicate collimation when it is disassembled or does not require it at all. The telescope's operation is facilitated by the patented by the Sky-Watcher pressure regulation in the height axis.
The Dobsons with the GOTO system have been equipped with the SynScan AZ driver allowing the telescope to be directed to any direction of the sky in a simple way. The user-friendly menu allows you to easily select one of more than 42,900 objects stored in the system's memory. Thanks to the use of special encoders, it is possible to manually rotate the telescope without the need to reset the GOTO system. Telescopes of this type are a great combination of the advantages of large dobsonów with the convenience of the GOTO telescope.

This device focuses a lot of light. Looking directly at the sun through this device can result in partial or complete loss of vision. For the observation of the Sun, we recommend the safest method of spectacle projection, that is, projecting the image of the target of our day star on a piece of paper.
