COLLAPSIBLE TRUSS-TUBE DOBSONIAN DESIGN THAT REQUIRES NO REASSEMBLY --THE ULTIMATE CONVENIENCE

The venerable Dobsonian reflector design has recently undergone some important upgrades and improvements. The telescopes are pleased to introduce the all-new Collapsible Dobsonian complete with Crayford focuser – the ultimate in large aperture portability and performance.This elegant truss tube design was carefully engineered to combine ease of use, extreme portability and consistent performance in an affordable package. Unlike other truss tube designs, the SkyWatcher Collapsible Dobsonian does not need to be disassembled between uses. It transports as two compact pieces that can be assembled and ready to use in just seconds. It is easy to collimate once set up, and it holds its collimation throughout the evening. The bearing system has been redesigned as well. The new Collapsible Dobsonians feature buttery smooth azimuth bearings. Even the twelve-inch model can be rotated with just the push of a finger. Like our traditional Dobsonians, the new Collapsible Dobsonians feature SkyWatchers are patented tension adjustment control on the altitude bearings. This eliminates the need and added cost of clumsy counterweight systems to balance the telescope.To top it off, all of the new Collapsible Dobsonians are shipping with ultra smooth Cray ford focuser. The legendary Sports-Auto-Focus ensures instant sharp viewing in any situation even at varying or rapidly changing distances — no need to constantly refocus. Added comfort with the slip-proof rubber and the shock-absorbing Makrolon fibre reinforced polycarbonate body. A fog-free viewing and moisture protected performance guarantees the two-valve system of dry nitrogen pressure filling. The bottom line is, you don't have to be searching for an ivory-billed woodpecker to justify owning a pair of compact, high-performing produts.
