Orion Optics VX8 With 1/10 PV Optics Tube Assembly (Ex Display)

This is the upgraded 1/10PV optics version of the VX8

• The Orion Optics VX8 is significantly larger than the VX6 model.
• The brightness of an object in a telescope depends on the size of the main mirror i.e. how much light it collects and sends to your eye, or camera.
• This is calculated based on the area of the mirror. In the case of the VX8 telescope, it has an image over 40% brighter than the VX6 model.
• To add to that, the detail in a telescopezs image is controlled by the diameter, or aperture of the mirror.
• The VX8 has mirrors 33% larger than the VX6. These two features give you not only a much brighter image but also, a much more detailed image allowing you to use higher magnifications on the telescope.
• The VX8 is a telescope of f4.5 which, with the addition of a camera adaptor and camera, can give you some spectacular photographic performance, primarily on Deep Sky objects.
