Main mirror with 94 % reflection for clearer images
Dobson telescopes are true specialists for deep sky observation. Rich contrast, detail and image clarity are the key 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 buzzing noise, 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 and 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 very smoothly.
Maximum ease of movement in all directions
Thanks to the Teflon pad on the large azimuth rotating plate and the 2 tension springs on the elevation axis you can slide your telescope freely in all directions and manually track to keep the celestial object within the field of view at all times.
The Dobson advantage: easier and quicker to set up
Dobson telescopes consist of only 2 parts, so they can be assembled in no time. They are also less expensive than comparable telescopes on an equatorial mount.
