Powerful aperture for clear vision
The Skywatcher N 355/1600 has a 14-inch parabolic mirror. That means your 36% captures more light than a 12-inch telescope. So you'll see stars, nebulae and planets with impressive clarity and detail. You can discern the rings of Saturn, follow cloud bands of Jupiter and discover numerous moons. Thanks to f/4.5 and the 2″ focuser, the telescope is also suitable for photographing brighter objects.
Easy to transport and ready quickly
The FlexTube system lets you easily slide the tube in and out. The telescope remains stable even fully extended. You put it on and off quickly, so you can start observing right away.
Precise focusing with Crayford focuser
The 2″ Crayford focuser moves smoothly and sets your focus precisely. The T2 connector makes it easy to connect DSLR cameras. This keeps stars pointed and planets razor sharp.
Solid Dobson mount
The wooden Dobson base offers stability and smooth movement. You track objects precisely and the low center of gravity prevents vibrations. Thus, you view comfortably, even at high magnifications.
Supplied ready to use
You get the optical tube, rocker box with support pillars, eyepieces of 25 mm and 10 mm, 2″ Crayford focuser with 1.25″ adapter and T2 connector, 9×50 viewfinder and collimation marker. Within minutes you can start looking.
