This large aperture telescope is sure to delight the dedicated observer of deep space objects. With 14 inches of light grabbing aperture, this is a telescope made for serious deep space observing. Its go to capabilities will help you to locate those elusive objects that are not visible in the finder scope, but you can also move the telescope manually and allow it to track your target once it has been acquired. We think that anyone who likes to share a telescope, either with friends or at public outreach events, will appreciate the way this telescope stays on target for extended periods. The elegant collapsible design was carefully engineered to combine ease of use, extreme portability and consistent performance in an affordable package. Unlike truss tube designs, the SkyWatcher Flextube Dobsonian does not need to be disassembled between uses. It transports as two compact pieces that can be assembled and ready to use in just Minutes!We've been impressed with how well the secondary mirror holds colimation throughout multiple cycles of expanding and collapsing the optical tube assembly. It is easy to collimate once set up, and it holds 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.
