Skywatcher 10" Dobsonian 1200mm Focal Length (f/5.0) with 2" Crayford Style Focuser, 1.25" adaptor, 10mm & 25mm Plossl Eyepieces, 8x50 VF, & Rocker Mount Feature
- The Sky-Watcher 10" DOB utilizes quality components throughout
- The polishing process for primary and diagonal mirror yields smooth mirror surfaces ensuring good contrast and properly corrected optics show minimum alterations to the optical wave-front
- The standard-equipment backlash-free 2" Crayford Focuser insures ultra smooth focusing adjustments
- An 8x50mm Right Angle optical viewfinder provides both magnification and light gathering to help narrow your search for those elusive fuzzies when star-hopping
- To ensure mechanical ease-of-use, SW uses a high-performance Teflon bearing system in both axes combined with tension adjustment in altitude to facilitate setting the appropriate amount of friction
The Skywatcher 10" DOB is an very satisfying telescope to own, an instrument that will provide a lifetime of continuing exploration of the heavens. This telescope provides all the capability and value you are seeking in a large aperture telescope. Skywatcher's revolutionary truss-support concept allows the optical tube's front and back cells to collapse together, aligning on the truss support rods which can then be locked down for easy and secure telescope transport. This one piece, low-hassle OTA design is mechanically simple and results in a large aperture telescope that can be reasonably handled and transported by one individual. This innovation gives Skywatcher users tremendous functional ease-of-transportability. With this telescope you have tremendous light gathering power. Prominent deep-space objects seen well in an 8" SW DOB, such as diffuse emission nebulae in the summer sky like the Lagoon (M8), Trifid (M20) and Swan (M17); the stunning globular star clusters M13 and M92 in Constellation Hercules; the awesome winter sky's Great Orion Nebula (M42) in Constellation Orion and the enormous local galaxy group companion the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) in Constellation Andromeda, to name a very few, will appear more spectacular, brilliant and wider in extension in a SW 10" DOB. Many challenging objects for an 8" aperture now come into their own with the SW 10" DOB: the planetary nebula the Crab (M1), a supernova remnant, requires a 10" aperture t
