Ten inch light output in a full metal truss design<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Explore Scientific Dobson 254\/1270 Ultra Light<\/strong> combines maximum light gathering with portability. The 254 mm parabolic mirror gathers over 1300 times more light than the naked eye, and the lightweight aluminum truss construction gives you the power of a large telescope without the bulk of a classic tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thoughtful Ultra Light Concept<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The rigid aluminum construction with radial bearings and a balanced rocker box moves smoothly and stably, even at high magnification. The parabolic BK7 primary mirror rests in a 9-point mirror cell, two built-in fans quickly bring it up to temperature, and the secondary mirror spider is adjustable without tools. Fully metal, so no wood and no moisture problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compact for transport<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The modular design assembles in minutes and packs up just as quickly: all components fit into the rocker box. This allows you to take a ten-inch aperture to dark skies, where this size truly shows what it can do. Realistically useful magnification is up to about 500x on the sharpest nights; in practice, 250x to 300x is the working range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
