This telescope is also packaged together under the [url=https://www.telescope.com/Orion-SkyView-Pro-8-Equatorial-Reflector-Telescope/p/9738.uts]SkyView 8" Pro[/url] name, but while the Sky View is a combination Optical Tube + Equatorial mount, this represents the telescope itself. As a scope designed for visual use, the stock focuser is often upgraded, the tube flocked and occasionally the primary mirror pushed forward to support deep-sky imaging Some models have a primary mirror with a turned-down edge, and so it is common to install an edge mask to minimize asymmetric spikes.
