Sky-Watcher 254/1200 DOB 10" Classic Reflector Telescope with Pyrex Mirror

The Sky-Watcher 254/1200 DOB 10" Classic Reflector Telescope is your gateway to exploring the wonders of the universe. Perfectly designed for both novice and seasoned astronomers, this telescope excels at revealing the beauty of nebulae, open clusters, and distant galaxies. It also allows you to explore all the planets in our solar system, along with many of their moons.

Exceptional Lunar and Planetary Observation

When observing the Moon, the telescope provides stunning detail. For optimal results during a full moon, a neutral gray (neutral density) filter is recommended to manage the abundant light. With a large 254 mm mirror, this telescope gathers over 1,300 times more light than the human eye, offering a 56% increase in light-gathering capability compared to similar models like the Synta 8" (203 mm) telescope.

Advanced Pyrex Mirror Technology

The telescope's mirror is crafted from Pyrex glass, a boron-silicon composition that enhances image quality through a lower coefficient of thermal expansion. This lightweight material ensures sharper, more accurate images.
