Hi Lacey. I requested Some info late last night, & it was here when I logged on just now.

The 8" dob your thinking of getting Has a BK7 primary, a 2" rack & pinion focuser (with 1.25 adapter) 2 1.25" eyepieces (no info as to what type) If you wanted a crayford style focuser, rather than a rack & pinion it'll cost you approx an extra $100. In my opinion well worth it but Rack&pinions work ok too.

Hope this helps.. PS price on Saxon arriving shortly.
