Overview
The Sky-Watcher 12" Dobsonian is a substantial Newtonian reflector telescope boasting an f/5 focal ratio, making it perfect for extensive field and deep-sky observation. Its significant aperture enhances light-gathering power, enabling clear views of prominent deep-sky objects such as nebulae and star clusters. Additionally, the Sky-Watcher Classic Dobsonians feature a 2" Crayford focuser and a focuser locking screw, facilitating easy use with eyepieces of various sizes.
Features
Tension Control System
The Tension Control System enables you to customize the friction setting, adjusting the resistance for smooth movement of the tube on the wooden mount. This is achieved by balancing the optical tube with specially designed handles on the base, ensuring optimal friction and tension. This design allows the tube to move easily when nudged or to stay securely in position, providing the desired level of resistance at all times.
Sky-Watcher Telescopes
In late 1999 the Sky-Watcher brand was born in Canada. Today Sky-Watcher is recognised as being one of the world's largest telescope suppliers. With a mission statement like the following, it is no wonder they are one of the world's biggest brands for night gazing.
'We believe that beginners’ first scopes should be not only affordable but also of the highest quality. Looking through a telescope for the first time is a magical moment and we believe in magic! We're called “Sky-Watcher”: our desire is to see the worldwide community of skywatchers grow, until, one day, every person in the world can be a part of our community!
