Mount the Sky-Watcher Flextube 350P SynScan GoTo Dobsonian Telescopeon a compatible base to observe night sky treasures such as planets and the moon, nebulae, star clusters, galaxies, and much more. Its large parabolic borosilicate primary mirror is treated with a combination of quartz, titanium, and silicon dioxide to bring its reflectivity to over 94%, with a secondary mirror obstruction of just 6% by area. The OTA's truss design allows it to retract to just 38.5" long for easier transport and storage, and then extend to 60" for observation.

The large 14" aperture draws in copious amounts of light to resolve awe-inspiring deep-sky objects like wispy nebulae and galaxies, while also revealing incredible details of the lunar surface and planetary features. The 2" focuser will accept larger eyepieces so users can enjoy a truly immersive visual experience and will ensure larger imaging sensors are completely covered. For convenience, Sky-Watcher includes a reducer adapter that will allow you to use more common 1.25" eyepieces.

[1.25", 2"] The only thing I would change would be the stand would have wheels to move the telescope around everything else is wonderful and amazing

[Yes] The telescope is well made quality through out so great optics and nice finish on all surfaces. I am waiting to get the correct adapters so I can begin photographing all the wonders of night sky.

[f/4.6] The first chance to use it, I thought I would view the moon. In 60 years of observing and photographing the moon, I've never seen the detail, brilliant clarity, and highlights of a first hand look with this 10 inch dobsonian. It was on sale for $1000! An amazing price for this Synscan controlled Dob. After I learn the app, I'm certain I'll enjoy it even more. Be ware that the 8 and 10 inch synscan models do not have releasable clutches. Manual movement can be done safely, it's just slightly resistant, The hand controller easily allows movent with the motors however. It's light to pick up fairly easily in 2 pieces.

[f/4.6] So far everything is good. Just what I wanted lightweight and portable.

[1.25", 2"] This is my second Skywatcher Collapsible GoTo Dobsonian, the first being the 14 version of this scope. Long story short, I sold that scope since it was way too big and heavy for one person to handle easily. This one is perfect, and moving the base as one whole unit and then the OTA outdoors is easily manageable. GoTo function works great and enables you to track down DSOs and the ice giants Uranus and Neptune with ease. Can hardly wait to get this scope to some nice dark sky site for some serious viewing. Well worth the cost, much more manageable than the 14 or 16 and is quite the astronomy workhorse.

[1.25", 2"] I have been watching the stars for nearly 5 decades now and have very slowly progressed through several backyard scopes along the way, 2 and 4 inch refractors, then my first Dobsonian back in '06, that 6 inch Dob lasted me just fine until this year, when fortunate circumstances allowed me the time, space, and money to go bigger. I am glad I did. So first of all B&H actually had this in stock, most other sites were out of stock on this and other comparable scopes of different brands. A B&H rep called me prior to shipping to confirm the order and delivery dates. It arrived less than a week later in 2 deliveries (base, then scope the next day). assembly was not difficult at all, instructions were straightforward and clear. took me about 40 min. and I go really slow...The mirrors were actually pretty close to alignment out of the box, but I did not get the scope perfectly collimated (I still need to get the proper wrenches for the secondary mirror) but I managed to get it fairly close, as the primary mirror is very easy to adjust. Then it was a wait for the weather to clear, and I FINALLY caught first light 3 wks later on new year's eve, we only had a few cloudbreaks but managed to get excellent (yet brief) views of a nice half moon and a really quick 5 minutes of Jupiter and the 4 Galilean moons, Jupiter's atmospheric bands crisp and clearly visible with a 25 mm eyepiece. I was not able to cycle through all my lenses due to weather and the new years party, but what we did manage to see with the included 25 mm was simply stunning, I can not wait for good weather to return, the collapsible design allows me to get the scope and base in the car and so far I am really impressed with the overall quality and performance of this scope, no buyer's remorse here, this is a hands-down 5 star review.

[48 x 24 x 21.5"] This is my first telescope. I wanted a large telescope because I live in a fairly light polluted area and wanted the extra light gathering capability to view objects that would be overpowered by background light with a smaller scope. The size is just right and it collapses enough to get into a car for once in a while transportation to dark skies.
The one very minor complaint is that there was no indication that I needed to purchase a separate battery or power supply to power the GoTo electronics. I understand not including one of the options because everybody's use case is different. I did say it was a minor complaint. Shipping was fast, everything arrived in perfect condition.
