## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a compatible tripod ?**
A: The telescope comes with its own rotating base. No tripod needed.

**Q: What solar filter is compatible with the 8in model?**
A: The outside diameter is 9 ¼ inches, so you will want to size your solar filter with that measurement or slightly larger.

**Q: Does this telescope have a lot of stiction? When making fine adjustments does the telescope kinda jerk free making it difficult to manually track?**
A: This uses a Teflon bearing the for the azimuth that works very well if adjusted properly and a friction adjustment for altitude that can be sticky if the poorly balanced. This is common to all the synta made manual dobs (Orion, Skywatcher, Celestron) but it can be remedied by using a magnetic counterweight when using heavy eyepieces or accessories. I have minimal issues when following planets at 200x with a 6x30 finder and explore scientific 82 degree eyepieces with just the tension but the counterweights do allow for less tension and smoother operation. What sets this dob apart is the StarSense which works very well and allows for a rapid run through of targets and also the tube handle which makes transportation much easier

**Q: Does this 8" Dob come with thumbscrews for locking and adjusting the primary mirror?**
A: The Celestron Starsense 8-inch Dobsonian telescope primary mirror is equipped with the standard Newtonian three primary collimation screws and three mirror locking screws. The secondary is also equipped with the standard three Newronian secondary collimation screws.
