Welcome to the Celestron world of amateur astronomy! Celestron has been

providing amateur astronomers with the tools to explore the universe for more

than a quarter of a century. The Celestron G-8 Newtonian continues in this proud

tradition. With a mirror diameter of 8", your G-8N has almost 800 times the light

gathering power of the unaided human eye. It can show you literally thousands of

deep-sky objects. Yet your G-8N is compact enough to take to the mountains or

desert or wherever you observe.

This telescope is made of the highest quality materials to ensure durability and

stability. All this adds up to a telescope that gives you a lifetime of pleasure with a

minimal amount of maintenance. And, your Celestron G-8N is versatile. It grows

as your interest grows. All you need to do is take the time to familiarize yourself

with your G-8N and its operation.
