- Friction system: smooth and light slides
- Needle bearings: easy and precise movement on the azimuthal axis, even with a single finger
- Main mirror with 94 % "Enhanced Coating" treatment for brighter images
- Faster cooling = faster observation: fan for the main mirror
Friction system
The new friction system makes it even easier to focus and track objects in the night sky with precision. Instead of Teflon pads, the shafts are equipped with needle bearings on the azimuthal shaft and a ball bearing system on the elevation shaft. This way you can adjust your telescope with even less effort and it will follow your movements in all directions like silk. It will be useful for keeping celestial objects within your field of view even at high magnifications. The friction can be conveniently adjusted to your needs by means of a pair of aluminum hand wheels.
Easier adjustment of the center of gravity
Another advantage of the friction system is that adjusting the telescope's center of gravity is a much easier task. For example, when using heavy eyepieces, the system may no longer be able to compensate for the weight and may fall to one side.
Main mirror with 94 % reflection for clearer images
Dobson telescopes are true specialists for deep sky observation. The richness of contrast, detail and image clarity are unique to this telescope. And that is precisely what this parallactic main mirror offers you. Thanks to the 94 % "Enhanced Coating" treatment on the mirror surface, you will enjoy ultra-clear images, including those of deep sky objects in the far reaches of the visible.
Enhanced observing agility: fan for the main mirror
Just a slight, unnoticeable hum - but with a gigantic effect: the integrated 12 V fan cools the main mirror up to 50 % faster, allowing your telescope to reach optimum image quality much sooner, putting an end to long waits.
Crayford 2" eyepiece holder
Use your 1.25 or 2" eyepieces and enjoy spectacular panoramic observations. The ball bearings will allow you to focus on the object you want to look at with total smoothness.
The Dobson advantage: quick and easy to assemble
Dobson telescopes consist of only 2 parts, so they can be assembled in notime at all. They are also less expensive than comparable telescopes on an equatorial mount.
