'International Year of Astronomy Special Edition'

The Sky-Watcher Heritage-76 has been specially designed to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy (IYA) and the 400th Anniversary of Galileo’s first telescope.

This is not only a functional optical instrument but also an ideal gift for the younger astronomer aged 5-10-years.

Housing the same Parabolic Primary Mirror-set as the highly-acclaimed Explorer-130P, this telescope is an excellent introduction to astronomy that will provide wonderful views of the Moon, planets and the brighter Deep-Sky Objects.

153mm (6") f7.84 Parabolic Dobsonian

203mm (8") f5.91 Parabolic Dobsonian

254mm (10") f5 Parabolic (Pyrex glass) Dobsonian

300mm (12") f5 Parabolic Dobsonian

"... this instrument offers a staggering specification for the money with an optical performance that would be the envy of many a manufacturer. With equipment like this available at such reasonable cost, observers truly have never had it so good.”

"It would be easy to pigeonhole the 305mm FlexTube as an innovative, transportable Dobsonian for the deep-sky enthusiast, but it's much more than that. Its stunning planetary prowess will have many observers redefining what larger aperture, short focal ratio Newtonians are capable of."
