Sky-watcher Flextube 350p Synscan Goto Dobsonian Telescope
- Product Code: eq104909
-
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.
