A 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 Collapsible Dobsonian 300 telescopes are pleased to introduce
the all-new Collapsible Dobsonian complete with Crayford focuser – the Skywatcher Collapsible Dobsonian 300 telescopes are with an 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 SkyWatcher 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 SkyWatcher’s
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.
