Corresponding to the escalating “aperture fever” that has gripped amateur astronomy for several decades an 8″ diameter is now generally regarded as the minimum entry-level aperture for serious observing. The low cost large diameter and fast focal ratio of the 8″ Sky-Watcher Flextube 200P Dobsonian telescope makes it an ideal option for wide-field deep-space observation of faint galaxies nebulae and star clusters. The low-power dramatically captures wide swaths of sky in a single view. Galaxies and nebula appear to pop out of the heavens as bright expansive masses of stars gas and dust.
