SKY DOBSON SYNSCAN 12''

The Sky-Watcher 12" Collapsible Dobsonian with SynScan GoTo delivers large-aperture light grasp with the convenience of motorized tracking. Its 305 mm (12") primary mirror and 1500 mm focal length (f/4.9) reveal fainter deep-sky targets along with crisp views of the Moon and planets, while the truss-tube design transports as two compact pieces that assemble in seconds. The patented Autotracking setup requires no polar alignment: a dual-encoder system tracks celestial objects in real time, and you can still nudge the telescope by hand at any moment with no need to re-align.
