Explore Scientific 10" f/5 Hybrid Truss Tube Dobsonian Telescope

 

Discover the cosmos with the Explore Scientific 10" f/5 Hybrid Truss Tube Dobsonian Telescope, a marvel of engineering designed for amateur astronomers and deep-sky enthusiasts. This telescope merges the ease of a Dobsonian mount with the advanced optics of a truss-tube design, offering an unmatched stargazing experience.

Key Features:

  • Aperture: 254 mm | Focal Length: 1270 mm | Focal Ratio: f/5
  • Mount: User-friendly, floor-based Manual Alt-Az
  • Accessories Included: 2" Single-speed Focuser, two Plossl eyepieces (25 mm & 10 mm), Moon Filter, Moon Map, Multi-latitude Planisphere (Northern Hemisphere), Red-dot LED Finderscope, Collimation Tool.

Unique Design: Unlike traditional models, it features a hybrid truss-tube design with a secondary mirror encased in a white aluminum tube, ensuring enhanced image clarity and contrast.

Performance: With its generous 254 mm aperture, the telescope captures light hundreds of times more than the naked eye, revealing intricate details of the moon, planets, and deep-sky objects. The fast f/5 focal ratio allows for quick image capture, making it ideal for observing nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters.

Portability & Ease of Use: Designed for convenience, it disassembles without tools for easy transport. High-altitude bearings and optimized aluminum structures provide smooth adjustments, even at high magnifications.

Recommended Upgrade: Consider adding the accessory shroud for improved contrast and dew protection for the primary mirror.

Why Choose This Telescope?

  • Superior Light Gathering: Ideal for both beginners and seasoned observers, offering brilliant views of the universe.
  • High-Quality Optics: Features a significant upgrade from the Generation II model with a single-speed focuser and no cooling fans required.
  • Travel-Friendly: Easy to disassemble and transport, even in compact vehicles.

Begin a celestial journey with the Explore Scientific 10" f/5 Hybrid Truss Tube Dobsonian Telescope, your gateway to the wonders of the night sky. Whether you’re captivated by the craters of the moon or the swirling galaxies, this telescope is your companion for unforgettable astronomical adventures.
