saxon 12” DeepSky Truss Dobsonian Telescope
Exceptional Deep-Sky Performance
Its truss-tube construction makes storage and transportation simpler, and its smooth Dobsonian mount guarantees stable, user-friendly operation. Perfect for watchers looking for a large yet manageable telescope that provides bright, detailed views of galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters.
For observers who need stunning deep-sky performance without compromising mobility or usability, the Saxon 12" DeepSky Truss Dobsonian Telescope (300/1525) is a real light-gathering powerhouse.
With a 1525mm focal length and a 300mm primary mirror, this large-aperture Dobsonian offers sharp, high-contrast lunar and planetary detail along with remarkable views of dim galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. Compared to a conventional full-tube telescope of this size, its truss-tube design allows the optical tube to disassemble into a more compact form, making storage and transportation much easier. When the truss framework is put together, it locks securely to provide a solid and safe viewing platform.
Paraboloidal Optics
A precision paraboloidal primary mirror, which eliminates spherical aberration and creates crisp, wide-field images, is the central component of the optical system. The 12" DeepSky Truss Dobsonian offers remarkable brightness and exquisite detail that smaller apertures just cannot match, from expansive views of the Milky Way to famous objects like the Great Orion Nebula.
Setup is very simple and doesn't require any extra tools despite its small size. Operating the Dobsonian mount is simple: simply aim the telescope at your target and take a look. The bearing system ensures smooth travel on the azimuth and altitude axes.
The 16" diameters of the DeepSky Truss Dobsonian Telescope series provide choices for novices and seasoned observers looking for the greatest visual effect.
