Celestron Sky-Watcher 10-Inch Dobsonian Telescope - Tube Only
The Celestron Sky-Watcher 10-Inch Dobsonian Telescope's Tube is mechanically simple and results in a large aperture telescope that can be reasonably handled and transported by one individual. This innovation gives Sky-Watcher users tremendous functional ease-of-transportability.
An 8x50mm Right Angle optical viewfinder provides both magnification and light-gathering to help narrow your search for the stars. The standard equipment backlash-free 2 Inch Crayford Focuser provides ultra smooth focusing adjustments. Multi-coated, 4 element eyepieces (25mm and 10mm) provide a spacious 52° field of view.
The Sky-Watcher 10 Inch Dobsonian Telescope S11720 uses quality components throughout with a pride of workmanship in high quality standards of optical and mechanical construction. The polishing process for the primary and diagonal mirror provides smooth mirror surfaces to assure good contrast. On each primary mirror, and elliptical diagonal mirror, aluminum is vacuum deposited to the front glass surface and then over coated with hard quartz. Additional layers of Titanium Dioxide and hard quartz are then applied. Dust covers help keep the telescope clean when not in use.
