Skywatcher - Dobsonian Skyliner-350P 14'' Flextube

SKYWATCHER SKYLINER-350P FLEXTUBE

355mm (14") F/4.5 Parabolic Truss-Tube Dobsonian Telescope
with collapsible tube

Dobsonian telescopes offer an incredible aperture-to-price ratio. The
Dobsonian mount, popularized by John Dobson in the 1970.s, is a simple
and efficient method of mounting a Newtonian reflector, based on the
Alt-Azimuth principal. Fast and easy to set up, the Dobsonian mount
consists of a box-type mounting which allows the telescope to pivot in
altitude, while the box itself is rotated on a base in azimuth. The
secret of the design is to correctly balance the optical tube and use
frictional materials which allow it to be moved easily when nudged but
to stay in position when not. The mount is designed to be driven by hand
as opposed to slow motion controls.Sky-Watcher Dobsonians provide
excellent all round performance for the observation the Moon and Planets
and Deep Sky Objects such as Galaxies and Nebulae.

The mirror

Features high quality parabolic primary mirror to eliminate spherical
aberrations inherent in 'fast' focal lengh reflectors with spherical
primary mirrors. The mirrors are parabolized to bring all the light rays
to the same focal point to give sharp, contrasty images, which are
full of detail.
