saxon 10" DeepSky Dobsonian Telescope - 10 inch

The Saxon Dobsonian 10" Telescope is a powerhouse of light gathering, offering an impressive 48% more light than its 8" Dobsonian counterpart. This telescope is renowned for its ease of use: simply place the base on any flat surface, whether level or sloped, and you're ready to explore the cosmos. There's no need for leveling or orientation adjustments, making it incredibly user-friendly.

The 10" Dobsonian (also known as the dob 10) is an exceptional choice for viewing celestial wonders. Witness the stunning rings of Saturn, the intricate bands of Jupiter, and its moons. The Moon appears spectacular through this telescope; at low magnification, you can view the entire lunar surface, while switching to the 10mm eyepiece brings individual craters, mountains, and valleys into sharp focus.

Available in sizes 6”, 8”, 10”, and 12”, each model increases light gathering by 48% with every additional 2 inches of aperture. This telescope is a Newtonian reflector mounted on a Dobsonian mount, named after inventor John Dobson. Mounting the reflector tube on a standard equatorial mount would triple the price, making the Dobsonian an affordable option for a large aperture telescope.
