Taurus N 404/1800 T400 Professional SMH DOB Dobson telescope

Taurus Dobsonians represent a pinnacle in mobile telescope technology, boasting a spacious aperture that neatly folds for easy transport. Ideal for both professionals and hobbyists, these telescopes offer unforgettable glimpses into the depths of space, showcasing celestial wonders like nebulae, distant galaxies, and globular clusters.

One standout feature is the Secondary Mirror Heating System, which intelligently regulates mirror temperature to prevent dew from condensing, ensuring clear views even in varied atmospheric conditions. Operating on a 5V source via USB port, this system can sustain observation for several days, depending on power bank capacity and environmental factors.

Here are some key features of Taurus Dobsonians:

Compact and Lightweight Construction: Encouraging exploration beyond city lights, these telescopes are designed for easy travel to dark sky locations.
