The Generation II 12-inch Truss Tube Dobsonian Telescope brings powerful deep sky observing within reach, featuring a large 305mm (12-inch) primary mirror that gathers over 1,800 times more light than the naked eye. Perfect for beginners and experienced astronomers alike, this telescope reveals stunning planetary details, vibrant star clusters, and breathtaking views of nebulae and galaxies. Its innovative truss tube design allows easy disassembly without tools for compact transport and quick setup—even fitting in small cars. The optimized aluminum structure combined with high-altitude bearings ensures exceptional stiffness and smooth, precise motion for high-magnification viewing. Equipped with a 2" focuser featuring helical gearing and a 10:1 reduction for fine focusing control, an LED Red Dot Finder, and a collimation assist tool, this Dobsonian is built for high-performance visual astronomy. Dual radial fans speed mirror cooling to achieve thermal equilibrium quickly, enhancing image clarity. (AA battery pack for fans sold separately.) Optional coma correctors are available to enhance astrophotography capabilities.
