Oh, and if your spouse asks β this is all for "educational purposes."

An 8" mirror, f/6 focal ratio, 1,219mm focal length β this thing eats galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters for breakfast. And right now, we've thrown in the ReflexSight finder, a moon map, planisphere, and red flashlight for free, knocked $300 off the price, and added free shipping to boot. It's a beginner telescope, sure β but it's also what a lot of experienced observers reach for when they just want to look at the sky without a computer telling them what they're pointing at.
