Sky-Watcher Skyliner-250PX FlexTube GoTo: 10 inch self-aligning<\/h2>\n

The Sky-Watcher Skyliner-250PX FlexTube GoTo combines a 254mm (10 inch, f\/4.7) parabolic mirror with a computer-controlled Dobsonian mount. Via the SynScan hand controller, you can choose from over 42,900 objects; the telescope will locate them and track them, even at high magnification. The retractable FlexTube tube keeps the entire unit portable. In our Dobson assortment<\/a> Is this the entry into large GoTo Dobsonians?.<\/p>\n

What do you see through the 250PX?<\/h2>\n

With 56%\u2014which provides more light output than an 8-inch telescope\u2014globular clusters resolve into individual stars, nebulae reveal their structure, and you can see details on planets such as the Cassini Division in Saturn\u2019s rings and Jupiter\u2019s cloud bands. The main difference from the manual 10-inch model lies in tracking: at 200x magnification, a planet simply stays in the field of view, allowing for long, relaxed viewing sessions.<\/p>\n

GoTo with the freedom of a Dobson<\/h2>\n

Thanks to the dual encoders, you can always move the tube by hand without losing alignment. Quickly swing to the moon yourself and then let it automatically track again: it's possible to do both. The 2-inch Crayford focuser with a 1.25-inch adapter and T2 connection also allows for quick camera experiments on the moon and planets.<\/p>\n

This is how to get the most out of this telescope<\/h2>\n
