This leads to the idea that an 8\" diameter is generally regarded as the minimum entry-level aperture for serious observing. The low cost, large diameter, and fast focal ratio of the 8\" Sky-Watcher Flextube 200P Collapsible Truss tube Dobsonian make it an ideal dedicated telescope for wide-field, deep-space observation of faint galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. The low-power inherent in this scope dramatically captures wide swaths of sky in a single view. the 8\" Sky-Watcher Flextube 200P Collapsible Truss tube Dobsonian makes galaxies and nebula appear to pop out of the heavens as bright, expansive masses of stars, gas, and dust. If you have never before observed through a high-quality, wide-field Dobsonian scope like the Sky-Watcher 8\" Flextube 200P Collapsible Truss tube Dobsonian, you are in for a truly enjoyable, sweet experience which you would expect from amateur astronomy!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 8\" Flextube 200P Collapsible Truss Dobsonian telescope from Sky-Watcher USA is a nice size telescope for the whole family to use, either in your own back yard or taken to a favorite dark-sky site for better observing of night sky objects. It is so easy to operate, being a Dobsonian design of mount. Just grasp the scope and move it by hand in the general direction of the objects you want to observe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObserving with a Dobsonian scope has been compared to shooting ducks in a gallery; it is so easy to find your target. An 8x50 mm right angle optical viewfinder provides both magnification and light-gathering to help narrow your search. The standard-equipment backlash-free 2\" Crayford Focuser provides reliable, ultra smooth focusing. Multi-coated, 4-element Plössl eyepieces (25 mm and 10 mm) provide a spacious 52° apparent field of view. To ensure mechanical ease-of-use, Sky-Watcher uses a high-performance Teflon bearing system in both axes combined with tension adjustment in altitude to facilitate setting the appropriate amount of friction, assuring smooth vertical and horizontal manual movements. Also reduces movement from accidental small bumps. This also eliminates the need for a balanced optical tube as would be required with an equatorial mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSky-Watcher's Teflon bearing system is preferable to the use of ball-bearings. Ball-bearings make unintended movement of the optical tube more difficult to control. Fortunately, at low power, deep-space objects will seem to leisurely drift through the field of view of the Sky-Watcher 8\" Flextube 200P Collapsible Truss Dobsonian telescope, so constant mechanical adjustment of the telescope's orientation isn't needed to keep objects in your field. Sky-Watcher's revolutionary Collapsible truss-support concept allows the optical tube's front and back cells to collapse together, aligning on the truss support rods. They can be locked down for easy and secure telescope transport. This one piece, hassle-free OTA design is mechanically simple. A Dob scope of 8\" aperture can be reasonably handled and transported by one individual. This innovation gives Sky-Watcher users tremendous ease of transportability, which is a feature you will love each time you have to move your telescope from its storage location to an observing site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sky-Watcher 8\" DOB utilizes quality components throughout. The polishing process for primary and diagonal mirror yields smooth mirror surfaces ensuring good contrast, and properly corrected optics show minimum aberrations. Each primary mirror and elliptical diagonal mirror is coated with aluminum and then over-coated with hard quartz (SiO4). Additional layers of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and (SiO4) are then applied to protect the coatings. Dust covers help keep your DOB clean when not in use. The mechanical and structural components of the OTA exhibit rigid construction and stability you will appreciate every time you observe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImagine the exhilaration of opening a clam and discovering your first pearl. The Celestial sphere we call the sky is full of astronomical pearls. While they won't make you rich financially, for amateur astronomers at least, observing the fabled pearls of deep-space is a rich and truly exhilarating pastime. A night observing with the SW 8\" Flextube 200P Collapsible Truss tube Dobsonian can leave you with a lingering sense of contentment. Some of amateur astronomy's most revered and enthusiastically observed extra solar-system objects are now within your discovery with this fine 8\" Dob telescope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe summer sky is aglow with astronomical pearls: In the constellation Sagittarius several of the sky's most prominent emission nebulae can be seen well in your 8\" SW DOB. The Lagoon Nebula (M8) is a rich aggregation of dust and gases illuminated by its central stars. This is actually an area of star formation. The Lagoon Nebula appears fiery red in astrophotographs due to the hot hydrogen gas. Located nearby is the smaller, but very beautiful Trifid Nebula (M20). These two nebulae can actually be seen in the same field of view with this 8\" telescope from Sky-Watcher.

The low-power inherent in this scope dramatically captures wide swaths of sky in a single view. the 10\" Sky-Watcher 250P Classic Dobsonian makes galaxies and nebula appear to pop out of the heavens as bright, expansive masses of stars, gas, and dust. If you have never before observed through a high-quality Dobsonian scope like the Sky-Watcher 10\" Classic 250P Dobsonian, you are in for a truly enjoyable, sweet experience which is exactly what you would expect from amateur astronomy!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 10\" \u003cspan\u003eClassic 2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0P Dobsonian telescope\u003c\/span\u003e from Sky-Watcher USA is a nice size telescope with a big aperture for the whole family to use, either in your own back yard or taken to a favorite dark-sky site for better observing of night sky objects. It is so easy to operate, being a Dobsonian design of mount. Just grasp the scope and move it by hand in the general direction of the objects you want to observe. \u003cspan\u003eThe Sky-Watcher Classic Dobsonian Telescope 254 mm\/1200 mm (10\"aperture and 1200 mm focal length) has a paraboloidal primary mirror to eliminate spherical aberration and a four-arm secondary mirror bracket with fine supports (0.5 mm thick), to reduce diffraction spikes and light loss. In addition, this model include a 2\" focuser with a 1.25\" adapter thus allowing the use of either eyepiece size. This model also include the new tension control handle which allows adjustment of the tension setting for the vertical movement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObserving with a Dobsonian scope has been compared to shooting ducks in a gallery; it is so easy to find your target. A 9x50 mm straight-through optical viewfinder provides both magnification and light-gathering to help narrow your search. The standard-equipment backlash-free 2\" Crayford Focuser provides reliable, ultra smooth focusing. Multi-coated, Super (modified Kellner) eyepieces (25 mm and 10 mm) provide a spacious field of view. To ensure mechanical ease-of-use, Sky-Watcher uses a high-performance Teflon bearing system in both axes combined with tension adjustment in altitude to facilitate setting the appropriate amount of friction, assuring smooth vertical and horizontal manual movements. Also reduces movement from accidental small bumps. This also eliminates the need for a balanced optical tube as would be required with an equatorial mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSky-Watcher's Teflon bearing system is preferable to the use of ball-bearings. Ball-bearings make unintended movement of the optical tube more difficult to control. Fortunately, at low power, deep-space objects will seem to leisurely drift through the field of view of the Sky-Watcher 10\" 250P Classic Dob telescope, so constant mechanical adjustment of the telescope's orientation isn't needed to keep objects in your field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sky-Watcher 10\" Classic 250P Dobsonian utilizes quality components throughout. The polishing process for primary and diagonal mirror yields smooth mirror surfaces ensuring good contrast, and properly corrected optics show minimum aberrations. Each primary mirror and elliptical diagonal mirror is coated with aluminum and then over-coated with hard quartz (SiO4). Additional layers of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and (SiO4) are then applied to protect the coatings. Dust covers help keep your Dob clean when not in use. The mechanical and structural components of the OTA tube and optics exhibit rigid construction and stability you will appreciate every time you observe the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe summer sky is aglow with astronomical pearls: In the constellation Sagittarius several of the sky's most prominent emission nebulae can be seen well. The Lagoon Nebula (M8) is a rich aggregation of dust and gases illuminated by its central stars. This is actually an area of star formation. The Lagoon Nebula appears fiery red in astrophotographs due to the hot hydrogen gas. Located nearby is the smaller, but very beautiful Trifid Nebula (M20). The magnificent Swan Nebula (M17) is also located in Sagittarius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most awesome globular star cluster, M13, is located in the constellation Hercules, a bee-hive of thousands of stars swarming about a central core.

With its patented collapsible tube design, this Sky-Watcher FlexTube 350P SynScan Collapsible Dobsonian Telescope is truly a very easily portable and a high-performance optical telescope. With its aperture of 356 mm (or 14\") you have a very large aperture telescope to grab more light and allow you to see faint objects in the night sky. With it focal length of 1650 mm, you will have lots of magnification to examine those objects in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elegant truss tube design was carefully engineered to combine ease of use, extreme portability and consistent performance in an affordable package. Unlike other truss tube designs, the SkyWatcher Flextube Dobsonian does not need to be disassembled between uses. It can be transported as two compact pieces. Then those components can be assembled and ready to use in seconds! It is easy to collimate once set up, and it will hold its collimation throughout the evening! The patented Tension Control Handle allows users to add or reduce tension, thereby increasing or decreasing the friction between the optical tube and the sideboards. This adjustment will give you the exact feel for pointing that you desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this mount is a Dobsonian design but it incorporates two DC Servo motors, you have the operational ability to GoTo, point, and track in two axes at once. With dual-axis tracking and tracking rates of sidereal, lunar, and solar, you have all your celestial observing needs covered. You can have a Go-To pointing accuracy of up to 5 arcminutes. The patented dual encoder design allows the telescope to be moved manually whenever the user wishes - but with no need for re-alignment! A true Dobsonian but with Go-To power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SynScan™ AZ hand control allows you point your telescope at a specific object, or even tour the night sky at the touch of a button! The user-friendly menu system allows automatic slewing to over 42,900 objects. Even an inexperienced astronomer can master its variety of features in a few observing sessions. The patented dual encoder design allows the telescope to be moved manually whenever the user wishes - but with no need for re-alignment! The Sky-Watcher Dobsonian SynScan series combines the convenience and affordability of the traditional Dobsonian with the observing convenience of a computerized Go-To telescope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTelescope Specifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS11830\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e050234118309\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNewtonian\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMirror Coatings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e94% Aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBorosilicate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Aperture (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e356 (14\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF\/Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1650 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e83 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Obstruction by diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Obstruction by Area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDawes Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.33 arcsec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRayleigh Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.39 arcsec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimiting Mag.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e701x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Gathering (compared to next size down)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" Dual Speed Crayford\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Length (Retract\/Ext.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38.5\"\/60\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Outer Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.5625\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Weight (with accessories)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53 pounds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDob Base Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e94 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDob Base Measurements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36\"x31\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZenith Eyepiece Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Finder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9x50 Finder scope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Diagonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Eyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 mm\/10 mm Plossl type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnification w\/ Included Eyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66x\/165x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorrector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSynScan Go-To Specifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Supply:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 to 15 V DC;

With its patented collapsible tube design, this Sky-Watcher FlexTube 400P SynScan Collapsible Dobsonian Telescope is truly a very easily portable and a high-performance optical telescope. With its aperture of 406 mm (or 16\") you have a very large aperture telescope to grab more light and allow you to see faint objects in the night sky. With it focal length of 1800 mm, you will have lots of magnification to examine those objects in detail. This is a 16\" aperture scope, and exactly what you have wanted for seeing those fainter objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elegant truss tube design was carefully engineered to combine ease of use, extreme portability and consistent performance in an affordable package. Unlike other truss tube designs, the SkyWatcher Flextube Dobsonian does not need to be disassembled between uses. It can be transported as two compact pieces. Then those components can be assembled and ready to use in seconds! It is easy to collimate once set up, and it will hold its collimation throughout the evening! The patented Tension Control Handle allows users to add or reduce tension, thereby increasing or decreasing the friction between the optical tube and the sideboards. This adjustment will give you the exact feel for pointing that you desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this mount is a Dobsonian design but it incorporates two DC Servo motors, you have the operational ability to GoTo, point, and track in two axes at once. With dual-axis tracking and tracking rates of sidereal, lunar, and solar, you have all your celestial observing needs covered. You can have a Go-To pointing accuracy of up to 5 arcminutes. The patented dual encoder design allows the telescope to be moved manually whenever the user wishes - but with no need for re-alignment! The Sky-Watcher 16\" FlexTube 400P SynScan Collapsible Dobsonian Telescope is a true Dobsonian, but with Go-To power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SynScan™ AZ hand control allows you point your telescope at a specific object, or even tour the night sky at the touch of a button! The user-friendly menu system allows automatic slewing to over 42,900 objects. Even an inexperienced astronomer can master its variety of features in a few observing sessions. The patented dual encoder design allows the telescope to be moved manually whenever the user wishes - but with no need for re-alignment! The Sky-Watcher Dobsonian SynScan series combines the convenience and affordability of the traditional Dobsonian with the observing convenience of a computerized Go-To telescope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTelescope Specifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS11840\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e050234118408\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNewtonian\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMirror Coatings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e94% Aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBorosilicate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Aperture (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e406 mm (16\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF\/Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1800 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e102 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Obstruction by diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Obstruction by Area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDawes Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.29 arcsec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRayleigh Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.34 arcsec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimiting Mag.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e799x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Gathering (compared to next size down)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" Dual Speed Crayford\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Length (Retract\/Ext.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42.5\"\/66.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Outer Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.875\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Weight (with accessories)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72 pounds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDob Base Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDob Base Measurements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36\"x34\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZenith Eyepiece Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e74\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Finder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9x50 Finder scope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Diagonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Eyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 mm\/10 mm Plossl type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnification w\/ Included Eyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72x\/180x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorrector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSynScan Go-To Specifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Supply:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 to 15 V DC;

This StarSense Explorer 114 mm LT 114AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Newtonian reflector Telescope from Celestron will make astronomical observing fun for all members of your family. It requires NO prior knowledge of astronomy or experience with using telescopes. StarSense Explorer is ideal for beginners thanks to the app’s user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials. It’s like having your own personal tour guide of the night sky. You can also learn some new facts about astronomical objects with this scope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDock, Launch, and begin to Explore:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leave complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps, and computerized mounts behind. With StarSense Explorer, locating objects has never been easier, faster, or more accurate. Within minutes of setting up the telescope, you’ll be navigating the sky with confidence. Simply place your phone in the unique StarSense dock and launch the StarSense Explorer app. Your phone's camera looks at the sky via a mirror in the cradle. Patent-pending StarSense sky recognition technology uses your smartphone's camera to analyze star patterns overhead and calculate its position in real time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter aligning your phone to the telescope’s optics (a quick, 2-minute procedure), StarSense Explorer generates a list of celestial objects currently visible. Make your selection and arrows appear onscreen, guiding you and showing you which way to move the telescope. When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green. Now, observe the object with the Celestron StarSense Explorer 114 mm LT 114AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Newtonian reflector Telescope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarSense Explorer uses patent-pending technology and your smartphone to determine exactly where the telescope is pointed in the night sky. A \"Lost in Space Algorithm\" (LISA), like the ones satellites use in orbit to correctly re-orient themselves, helps the app match star patterns it detects overhead to its internal database. While other astronomy apps may claim that they can help you find objects, they rely exclusively on the phone’s gyros and accelerometers, which aren’t as accurate as LISA technology. No other app can accurately tell you when your target is visible in the eyepiece. StarSense Explorer LT’s simple altazimuth mount makes it easy to move the telescope to find your target. A slow-motion altitude adjustment knob included on the StarSense Explorer 114 mm LT 114AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Newtonian reflector Telescope from Celestron helps you fine tune the telescope’s pointing position and follow targets as they appear to drift across the night sky. It’s all anchored by an adjustable, full-height tripod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can expect sharp, bright views through this 114 mm Newtonian reflector. Fully coated glass optics provide increased light transmission, enhancing details in celestial objects. Even if you live in a light polluted city location, StarSense Explorer is advanced enough to be able to pick out Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, the Orion Nebula, double stars, and a few more of the most famous brighter celestial objects. But if you can take the telescope to an even slightly darker location, more objects will become visible. The entire telescope kit weighs a mere 10.4 pounds, so it’s perfectly portable and easy to bring on your next camping trip or to a remote observing site. This Celestron StarSense Explorer 114 mm LT 114AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Newtonian reflector Telescope will change the way you think about astronomy and open new vistas for you, the whole family, and your friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmartphone Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones; it is compatible with Android 12 and later, as well as iOS 18 and newer, including iPhone XR and newer models.

This StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Newtonian reflector Telescope from Celestron will make astronomical observing fun for all members of your family. It requires NO prior knowledge of astronomy or experience with using telescopes. StarSense Explorer is ideal for beginners thanks to the app’s user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials. It’s like having your own personal tour guide of the night sky. You can also learn some new facts about astronomical objects with this scope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDock, Launch, and begin to Explore: Leave complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps, and computerized mounts behind. With StarSense Explorer, locating objects has never been easier, faster, or more accurate. Within minutes of setting up the telescope, you’ll be navigating the sky with confidence. Simply place your phone in the unique StarSense dock and launch the StarSense Explorer app. Your phone's camera looks at the sky via a mirror in the cradle. Patent-pending StarSense sky recognition technology uses your smartphone's camera to analyze star patterns overhead and calculate its position in real time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter aligning your phone to the telescope’s optics (a quick, 2-minute procedure), StarSense Explorer generates a list of celestial objects currently visible. Make your selection and arrows appear onscreen, guiding you and showing you which way to move the telescope. When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green. Now, observe the object with the Celestron StarSense Explorer 130 mm DX 130AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Newtonian reflector Telescope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarSense Explorer uses patent-pending technology and your smartphone to determine exactly where the telescope is pointed in the night sky. A \"Lost in Space Algorithm\" (LISA), like the ones satellites use in orbit to correctly re-orient themselves, helps the app match star patterns it detects overhead to its internal database. While other astronomy apps may claim that they can help you find objects, they rely exclusively on the phone’s gyros and accelerometers, which aren’t as accurate as LISA technology. No other app can accurately tell you when your target is visible in the eyepiece. StarSense Explorer DX’s simple altazimuth mount makes it easy to move the telescope to find your target. A slow-motion altitude adjustment knob included on the StarSense Explorer 130 mm DX 130AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Newtonian reflector Telescope from Celestron helps you fine tune the telescope’s pointing position and follow targets as they appear to drift across the night sky. It’s all anchored by an adjustable, full-height tripod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can expect sharp, bright views through this 130 mm Newtonian reflector. Fully coated glass optics provide increased light transmission, enhancing details in celestial objects. Even if you live in a light polluted city location, StarSense Explorer is advanced enough to be able to pick out Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, the Orion Nebula, double stars, and a few more of the most famous brighter celestial objects. But if you can take the telescope to an even slightly darker location, more objects will become visible. The entire telescope kit weighs a mere 18 pounds, so it’s perfectly portable and easy to bring on your next camping trip or to a remote observing site. This Celestron StarSense Explorer 130 mm DX 130AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Newtonian reflector Telescope will change the way you think about astronomy and open new vistas for you, the whole family, and your friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmartphone Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones; it is compatible with Android 12 and later, as well as iOS 18 and newer, including iPhone XR and newer models.

As celestial objects appear to drift across the night sky, you'll be able to easily follow them with minor adjustments to the telescope’s position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmartphone Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones; it is compatible with Android 12 and later, as well as iOS 18 and newer, including iPhone XR and newer models.

Simply place your phone in the unique StarSense dock and launch the StarSense Explorer app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter aligning your phone to the telescope's optics (a quick and easy procedure), StarSense Explorer generates a list of celestial objects currently visible. Make your selection and arrows appear on-screen, guiding you as you move the telescope. When the object is ready to view in the eyepiece, the bullseye turns green.

The tabletop base is compact, lightweight, and easy to transport, making it perfect for travel. The base’s low profile makes accessing the eyepiece easier for some observers (especially children). You can also place the base on a stable platform, like a table or hood of a car, to raise it to a comfortable viewing height. Consider adding the optional tripod for even more viewing options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeflon bearings provide smooth motion in both altitude and azimuth.

With this 114mm Dobsonian and relatively dark skies, hundreds of fascinating objects are well within your reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe StarSense Explorer Tabletop Dobsonian is lightweight and equipped with carry handles, making it easy to transport to your observing site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePatented StarSense Sky Recognition Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarSense Explorer uses patented technology and your smartphone to determine exactly where the telescope is pointed in the night sky. A Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA), like the ones satellites use in orbit to correctly orient themselves, helps the app match star patterns it detects overhead to its internal database.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile other astronomy apps may claim that they can help you find objects, they rely exclusively on the phone's gyros and accelerometers, which aren't as accurate as LISA technology.

You can also place the base on a stable platform, like a table or hood of a car to raise it to a comfortable viewing height. Consider adding the optional tripod for even more viewing options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeflon bearings provide smooth motion in both altitude and azimuth.
