saxon 12" Dobsonian Telescope

If you’re ready to experience deep space in bold detail, the saxon 12" Dobsonian Telescope is the one to get. With an enormous 305mm aperture, this Dobsonian collects 48% more light than a 10" and a staggering 90% more than an 8", making faint galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters appear brighter, clearer, and more alive than ever before.

Big Scope, Simple Setup

Despite its size, the 12" Dob remains remarkably simple to use. Just place the base on any flat surface—no alignment, no leveling, and no need to worry about orientation. Even on a sloped driveway or uneven ground, you're ready to start exploring the cosmos within minutes.

Incredible Views, Near and Far

This telescope reveals stunning planetary detail—the rings of Saturn, the cloud bands of Jupiter, its four Galilean moons, and breathtaking lunar landscapes. Use a low-power eyepiece to take in the full disc of the Moon, or swap to a high-power 10mm eyepiece for sharp close-ups of craters and mountain ranges.

Upgrade for Even More Power

Want to go further? Add the GoTo + Wi-Fi upgrade kit to transform your 12" Dob into a fully computerised tracking telescope capable of finding and following thousands of celestial objects.

High Performance at Great Value

Built on the Newtonian reflector design and mounted on a rock-solid Dobsonian base, this scope offers the kind of performance that would cost 2–3 times more if mounted on an equatorial system. That’s what makes the saxon 12" Dobsonian one of the most affordable and impressive large-aperture telescopes available in Australia.
