A beauty AND a beast!

New 8-inch Dobsonian can deliver a bounty of deep sky treats!

It's time to roll out the red carpet for one of the stars of our new line of big-aperture reflector telescopes — the special red edition of our 8-inch Reflector with a Dobsonian Mount.

Deep sky, planetary AND lunar enthusiasts will love this big Newtonian telescope that offers much more than a pretty face. Beyond its shiny red exterior, you'll find a workhorse with a 208mm primary mirror and a fast f/5.9 focal ratio perfect for observing and imaging deep sky targets.

The special edition package also includes an additional wide angle eyepiece and a 2x Barlow lens that expands your magnification options. And it sits on the classic Dobsonian mount that is easy to operate AND enhanced with a spring tension system to accommodate additional accessories without upending tube balance.

For those looking for viewing versatility and a great deep sky astrophotography scope, this model is an ideal option! Click below to learn more.

Astro R-Lite will have you seeing red (in a good way)!

Explore Scientific's Astro R-Lite is a rugged red beam flashlight designed to specifically meet the needs of amateur astronomers. This versatile device will allow you to read star charts or make equipment changes without disturbing the crucial adjustments your eyes have made to dark conditions.

The Astro R-Lite is the perfect size to be tucked into a pocket and weighs just 2.7 ounces with the battery installed. It offers a built-in belt/pocket clip and comes with a neck strap to keep it close at hand during long nights of stargazine.

For versatility, the orange button changes light modes from high to low to a flashing mode that is ideal for signaling. It also has a sliding control that quickly changes the beam intensity on the high and low modes to fit rapidly changing lighting needs.
