Sky-Watcher 305/1500 DOB 12" Pyrex telescope FLEX

A new and improved version of the classic Dobson system has been developed, offering enhanced mobility and convenience for astronomers. This revolutionary telescope features a foldable and sliding design, along with a 305 mm diameter mirror, all mounted on a Dobson box azimuth mount.

Unlike its traditional counterpart, this modified truss tube design allows for quick assembly at any observation site. By reducing the tube length to a compact 96 centimeters from the original 120 centimeters, this telescope offers unparalleled portability without compromising on performance. The lattice structure of the tube ensures rigidity, enabling the telescope to maintain accurate collimation throughout your entire observation session. The inclusion of a laser collimator makes the collimation process effortless when the telescope is unfolded.

The azimuthal axis of the telescope incorporates high-quality bearings, enabling precise rotation with minimal effort. The height of the telescope can be easily adjusted, allowing for continuous fine-tuning based on your preferences.

Equipped with Crayford's precision eyepiece, this telescope supports the use of both 2" and 1.25" eyepieces, providing flexibility for different observation needs. Whether you're stargazing or interested in aircraft photography at cruising altitudes, this telescope offers exceptional performance in a wide range of applications.

To facilitate your astronomical journey, our telescope package includes all the necessary accessories, such as the optical tube option, a set of eyepieces, and the Dobson mount. We also provide links to helpful resources that can assist you in starting your observations with confidence.
