PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Sky-Watcher 16" GoTo Collapsible Dobsonian Telescope offers an enormous aperture with the convenience of portability and automation. Its innovative collapsible truss tube design allows it to fit into a backseat while maintaining the rigidity and alignment stability of a solid tube scope. This makes it ideal for both deep-sky hunters and planetary observers seeking structure in galaxies, nebulas, and faint DSOs like the Horsehead Nebula.
Equipped with Sky-Watcher's SynScan AZ hand controller, it enables automatic slewing to over 42,900 celestial objects. The dual encoder design also allows manual repositioning without losing alignment. Thanks to its patented Tension Control Handle, you can easily balance and secure your scope exactly where you want it, even during long observation sessions.
This Dobsonian integrates modern go-to technology with the traditional ease of use and offers a cost-effective solution for amateur astronomers looking for a robust, high-performance telescope that’s easy to transport, quick to set up, and simple to operate.
