Sky-Watcher 16" Dobsonian Collapsible Go-To Telescope

Dobsonian telescopes are made to be popular among amateur astronomers who seek ease of use, simplicity and guaranteed elegance. The Dobsonian Collapsible Telescopes have Collapsible truss-tube design that needs no disassembly because you can transport the package in two compact pieces. This simple and easy to use collapsible model also comes in a computerized Go-To telescope. Go-To versions are capable of precise and accurate pointing technology designed for users to easily point-and-shoot night sky treasures. This model combines Crayford focuser in a Dobsonian mount which yields a 406mm diameter aperture and performance of a 1800mm focal length lens. It features Buttery smooth azimuth bearings to keep the telescope easy to rotate with just a push of the finger. The Tension control handle is Sky-Watcher’s latest technology that is capable of adjusting the tension to modify the friction between the sideboard mount and the optical tube.
