About this product

Model: skwatcher_250px_goto_dobsonian

NEW model with integrated WiFi enables wireless control using your Smartphone or Tablet, using the free SynScan App for iOS or Android.

With their large apertures, collapsible FlexTube design and SynScan computerised Go-To, Skyliner FlexTube Synscan Dobsonians automatically find and track over 42,900 celestial objects.

The patented dual-encoder design enables you to manually move the telescope anytime and to anywhere you wish - with no need for realignment. Slewing to an object on the opposite side of the night sky no longer feels like watching a kettle boil. Simply push the tube close to the object and let the computer do the rest of the work.

Very good 'next step' 'scope

Monday, 13 September 2021 | David

My previous telescope was an ETX-90, but the electronics gave out. After thinking about it I decided visual astronomy was my thing, and so the dobsonian was a good fit for me. I also decided that the goto capability was worth the extra money, as I have enough knowledge of the sky to align the scope - but not a lot more. This telescope fits my needs very well, and has already given me some excellent views despite being relatively new. It is quite big - even collapsed it comes to me chest and I'm a grown man. It is also quite heavy, but not excessively so. Lastly, do expect to have to collimate it. If you don't already have one a laser collimating eyepiece is well worth it.

All in all I'm very happy.
