saxon 12" DeepSky Dobsonian Telescope - 12 inch

The saxon 12" Dobsonian is a beast of a telescope with 48% more light than the 10" Dobsonian and a whopping 90% more than the 8".

The Dobsonian is without doubt the easiest telescope to use, just stand the base on a flat surface and away you go, no leveling, no worrying about orientation, South or North, the surface can even be on a slope.

The Dobsonian telescope will give you views of the rings around Saturn, the bands around Jupiter and the Moons. Our very own Moon looks spectacular through a Dobsonian, at low magnification you will fit the whole Moon in the eyepiece but bump the magnification with the 10mm eyepiece and you will get individual craters and depending on the phase of the Moon mountains and valleys.

Available in 6”, 8”, 10” and 12”, and for every extra 2 inches of aperture you will get 48% more light into the telescope.

Turn your Dobsonian into a full GoTo, WiFi and tracking telescope with the addition of an Upgrade Kit, the kit will allow you to find thousands of objects in the night sky and the telescope will go to the objects and track them across the night sky.

The Dobsonian is a Newtonian reflector mounted on a Dobsonian mount named after the inventor John Dobson.  If you were to mount the Reflector tubes on a standard Equatorial mount the price would be at least 3 times that of the Dobsonian, making the Dobsonian a very affordable large aperture telescope.

The Saxon 12 inch Dobsonian Telesocpe is covered by a 5-Year Manufacturer's Warranty.
