For the Ambitious Beginner

For the serious astronomer who won't compromise on quality and useability, the saxon 12" DeepSky Dobsonian Telescope is perfect for you.

Due to the size of this item, this item is sold in three separate components, the the timber base, the tube and the primary cell with mirror. The primary cell will need to be installed into the tube and the scope collimated prior to use. 

NOTE: to protect your scope optics from dust, spiders and other pesky critters in storage, we recommend the Pegasus 12" Dust cover for the bottom of your scope. (Product Number 126687)

• Wifi compatible
• Compact, portable 5-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube with StarBright XLT optical coatings
• Computerized GoTo mount with high-performance worm gears and motors for improved tracking accuracy, along with reduced gear backlash
• Rechargeable lithium-iron phosphate battery with enough power for 10 hours of continuous observing
• Improved industrial design with manual clutches and integrated carry handles, plus the added convenience of two accessory trays and a USB charge port for your smart device

NOTE:  For solar observing we recommend the Astrozap Glass Solar Filter (Product No. 124466) for use on this telescope.
