saxon 16” DeepSky Truss Dobsonian Telescope
saxon 16" DeepSky Truss Dobsonian Telescope (406/1830)
With its large 406mm aperture and precise paraboloidal optics, the Saxon 16" DeepSky Truss Dobsonian Telescope (406/1830) offers 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.
Truss-tube Design
For observers who need stunning deep-sky performance without compromising mobility or usability, the Saxon 16" DeepSky Truss Dobsonian Telescope (406/1830) is a real light-gathering powerhouse.
Its truss-tube design enables the optical tube to disassemble into a more compact form than a traditional full-tube telescope of this size, making storage and shipping considerably simpler. A sturdy and secure viewing platform is created when the truss framework is assembled and locks firmly.
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.
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 16" DeepSky Truss Dobsonian offers remarkable brightness and exquisite detail that lesser apertures just cannot match, from expansive views of the Milky Way to famous objects like the Great Orion Nebula.
This large-aperture Dobsonian offers impressive views of dim galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters in addition to clear, high-contrast lunar and planetary detail thanks to its 406mm primary mirror and 1830mm focal length.
The 12" diameter of the DeepSky Truss Dobsonian Telescope series provide alternatives for novices as well as seasoned observers looking for the most visual impact.
