Its elegant truss tube design has been meticulously engineered to ensure ease of use, extreme portability, and consistent performance, all without compromising affordability. Unlike other truss tube designs, the Sky-Watcher Collapsible Dobsonian stands out with its convenience, requiring no disassembly between uses. It transports as two compact pieces that can be assembled and ready for your celestial exploration in mere seconds! Once set up, this telescope is easy to collimate and maintains its collimation throughout your stargazing session. The patented Tension Control Handle is a unique feature that allows users to adjust tension, thereby modifying the friction between the optical tube and the sideboards to suit their preference. The SynScan AZ hand control is another standout feature, enabling you to direct your telescope at a specific object or tour the night sky with a simple button press. Its user-friendly menu system offers automatic slewing to over 42,900+ celestial objects, making it an ideal choice even for novice astronomers. What's more, the patented dual encoder design allows for manual movement of the telescope whenever desired, eliminating the need for re-alignment.
