Ultra-light 406mm Generation II Dobsonian - with a completely redesigned and improved construction. No type of telescope has influenced amateur astronomy as radically as the Dobsonian telescope. Before John Dobson introduced this type of telescope, the vast majority of amateur telescopes were small, inadequate refractors on fragile mounts - just good enough to show the polar regions of Mars or the rings of Saturn. Larger telescopes, such as Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, were reserved for the relatively small group of amateurs who could afford them. The brilliant combination of simple - yet effective - mechanics with the largest possible aperture led to a worldwide triumph of this concept. No other type of telescope offers you as much light for your money as a good Dobsonian. Taking into account the motto "held together by gravity and driven by yogurt power," we offer you a modern version of a classic—developed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. Despite its large aperture, the telescope is easily transportable, even in small cars, and can be set up in minutes without tools. The construction has been optimized for maximum rigidity with minimum mass. The combination of large altitude wheels with an optimized aluminum sandwich construction allows for small movements even at high magnifications. The focuser is already positioned to accept our coma corrector. The ideal workhorse for deep-sky observers. A telescope with a 406 mm aperture gathers more than 3,300 times more light than the human eye. Details on the surfaces of planets become visible even to inexperienced observers, and countless deep-sky objects reveal their structures. Luminous globular clusters are clearly...
