Nice scope - I used to have an earlier version of the Revelation 8. My first dobsonian !

Yours is better turned out than mine was though :smiley:

 

Thanks John.  It's a shame it doesn't appear to be available anymore, as it was well equipped with a Crayford dual speed focuser and cooling fan for about the same price as the equivalent Skywatcher.

The GSO deluxe 8” is still available which is the same as the Revelation but way overpriced now at £480.00 delivered to the UK. Bit of a wait as well until new stock arrives from China

Wow - that's a lot for an 8" dob! 😮

It sure is. The original Revelation 8 used to be £199 new from Telescope House. The lowest cost 8 inch dob at that time, and since I would think.

I have the 12" Revelation which I bought at the Telescope House stand at Astrofest in February 2016. The cost was £499 with free delivery. Brilliant scope.

I just noticed that the GSO Revelation has a mirror with 94% reflection which is not too bad. I am not sure what the 8" Skywatcher Dob mirror is -although its £200 cheaper.
