Key Features

🔭 Massive 12" (304mm) Parabolic Primary Mirror

Collects over 1,560 times more light than the human eye, revealing breathtaking detail in galaxies, nebulae, globular clusters, planets, and the Moon.

⚙️ Premium Dual-Speed 2" Rack & Pinion Focuser

Achieve razor-sharp focus with the precision dual-speed focusing mechanism, allowing both rapid coarse adjustments and ultra-fine focusing for high-magnification planetary observing. Compatible with both 2" and 1.25" eyepieces using the supplied adapter.

🌌 Fast f/5 Optical System

The 1525mm focal length paired with a fast f/5 focal ratio delivers bright, high-contrast images and expansive wide-field views—ideal for deep-sky observing while still providing excellent planetary performance.

✨ Precision Parabolic BK-7 Primary Mirror

Manufactured from high-quality BK-7 optical glass with a precision parabolic figure and 92–95% reflective aluminium coating for excellent light transmission, contrast, and image sharpness.

🎯 Smooth Dobsonian Mount with Adjustable Brake System

The sturdy wooden Dobsonian mount features large side bearings with an adjustable brake system, providing smooth manual tracking and excellent stability, even when using heavier accessories.

❄️ Integrated Primary Mirror Cooling Fan

A built-in cooling fan helps the primary mirror reach ambient temperature more quickly, reducing thermal currents inside the optical tube for consistently sharper observations.

🔍 8x40 Optical Finderscope

Locate celestial objects quickly and accurately with the included 8x40 optical finderscope before viewing them through the main telescope.

👁️ Ready to Observe

Supplied complete with 25mm and 10mm Plössl eyepieces, allowing both wide-field and higher-magnification viewing straight out of the box.

🪵 Durable Construction

Built with a rigid metal optical tube and a robust laminated wooden Dobsonian base for years of dependable performance under the night sky.
