Building on the XT8's legacy of award-winning design and performance, the SkyQuest XT8
IntelliScope is now upgraded with a 2" Crayford-style focuser for smoother, more accurate
performance.

The SkyQuest XT8 IntelliScope is the most advanced 8" Dobsonian telescope available. Its 8"
(203mm) parabolic primary mirror serves up jaw-dropping images of the planets, nebulas
clusters, and galaxies. The enameled steel tube boasts a "navigation knob" for easy slewing,
a right-angle finder scope and now a Crayford-style focuser that accepts 2" and 1.25"
eyepieces. The focuser provides silky-smooth, backlash-free motion that eliminates image
shift, making it easier to achieve the sharpest possible focus. Add the Object Locator at any
time to enjoy fully computerized object-location capability.

The tube rides on a streamlined, ultra-stable Dobsonian base, moving smoothly on Teflon and
UHMW polyethylene bearing pads. The CorrecTension system keeps the tube perfectly
balanced for point-and-view ease of use.
