12-inch: almost 1900 times more light than the naked eye!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Omegon Advanced X 304\/1500 is the largest Advanced X: a 12-inch mirror that captures almost 1900 times more light than the naked eye. Faint galaxies, planetary nebulae with structure, and globular clusters down to their core: this is the gateway to the deep sky. A Dobsonian consists of two parts: tube and rockerbox. Set it up, point, observe. No alignment, no electronics, maximum mirror for your money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12-inch optics with fan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With the 25mm Pl\u00f6ssl eyepiece, you observe at 60x magnification. The theoretical maximum is over 600x; in practice, the atmosphere limits this to around 300x to 350x, and at this magnification, this aperture shows its strength in brightness and detail. The f\/4.9 optics require precise collimation, and the fan significantly reduces the cooldown time of the substantial mirror.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Smooth turning, fine focusing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Teflon bearings with tension springs rotate smoothly in any direction, right up to the zenith. The parabolic primary mirror with 94% enhanced coating extracts merkbar more light from the same aperture than standard coatings. Expect a tube weighing about 15 kilograms: still manageable for one person to carry, but plan your setup location carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
