Telescope Sky-Watcher Dob 16" Retractable
The powerful Sky-Watcher Dob 16" Retractable telescope is an ideal tool for suburban observations. The main mirror with a diameter of 406 mm collects a large amount of light - you can clearly see not only the brightest celestial bodies, but also dim objects of deep space. With this telescope you will see details of the lunar relief with a diameter of less than 1.5 km, a large number of details in the atmosphere of Jupiter, the Encke division in the rings of Saturn, a satellite Neptune Triton and even Pluto in the form of a small star In addition, you will be able to see many objects located outside the solar system, such as the Andromeda Nebula or the open star cluster Manger. The parabolic main mirror collects all the rays incident on it at one point, making the image sharp and clear, without chromatic and spherical aberrations. Observations should be made in a calm atmosphere. The image will be as bright and clear as possible away from city light. The telescope is equipped with a backlash-free two-speed Crayford focuser, which provides smooth and very accurate focusing. The kit includes eyepieces and an optical finder with a wide field of view. With a large aperture, the telescope is very convenient to transport - the optical tube folds easily. Thanks to the perfectly calibrated mechanics, adjustment only needs to be done once – no re-adjustment is required when unfolding the pipe. The Dobsonian mount is very easy to operate - even a novice astro enthusiast can easily handle it. High-quality bearings ensure smooth movement of the telescope in height and azimuth. Despite its impressive dimensions, the optical tube moves easily, without jerking.
