12" f/5 Truss Dobsonian Telescope - Excellent visual telescope with large aperture, fast setup, easy transport and accessoreis
The Telescope:
This 12-inch f/5 telescope is approximately 4 years old and has been well cared for. The mirror is clean and free of scratches or chips. It has been stored in a tempurature controlled environment its entire life. The telescope weighs approximately 80 lbs but being a truss dob it dissasembles for easy transport. Im only selling it now beucase I bought a larger telescope and have no use for it anymore.
Features:
Push-To object locating system Light Shroud
9x50 finder scope
Electric secondary mirror dew heater
Sturdy truss construction that minimizes vibration
Holds collimation well while assembled
Transport and Setup:
The telescope can be disassembled in less than 10 minutes and packed into its included bags for transport and protection. Once packed, it fits in most vehicles. Setup at your observing site typically takes about 15 minutes.
Observing Performance
With over 2 times the light-gathering power of a typical 8-inch telescope, this scope reveals fainter objects and more detail in deep-sky targets.
Take it out to the dark skies past Elgin or Llano, and you'll be amazed by the detail visible in galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. Globular clusters sparkle like giant diamonds across the sky. The included 9x50 finder scope makes locating faint objects easy, while the Push-To system helps you quickly find both popular showpieces and challenging deep-sky targets.
The electric secondary mirror dew heater helps keep the optics clear and prevents dew from cutting your observing sessions short.
Included Accessories:
Orion DeepView 35mm 2" eyepiece - (43x Magnifacation)
Meade 56mm 2" eyepiece - (27x Magnofaction)
Orion EZ Finder red-dot finder with dovetail mount
2" Wideband nebula filter
12" Solar filter
Focal reducer
Notes: The push to system requires a very level surface to function reliably otherwise it becomes inaccurate quite quickly
