Set it up right

A Newtonian needs collimating and the optics need keeping clean. Both jobs come up on night one.

Eyepieces worth owning

Low, medium and high power. The eyepiece in the box is rarely the one you keep using.

  • Description

This Tabletop Dobsonian f/5 Newtonian Reflector strikes the ideal balance between light-gathering power and portability. It has a 6-inch primary mirror that drinks in light to put deep sky treats like nebulae, star clusters and galaxies within easy reach. The intuitive Dobsonian mount design is compact thanks to its tabletop design, simple for beginners to master and requires minimal set-up, making it a great companion for spontaneous stargazing.

  • Large 152mm primary mirror has impressive light-gathering capacity, making it ideal for observing planets as well as deep sky beauties like nebulae, galaxies and star clusters
  • Tabletop Dobsonian mount is pre-assembled for quick set-up and comes with an accessory rack for keeping eyepieces handy
  • 760mm focal length delivers a fast focal ratio of f/5, which means brighter images, a wider field of view and shorter exposure times for astrophotography
  • Comes with two Plossl eyepieces (25mm and 10mm) that provide magnification powers of 30x and 76x
  • 2-inch rack-and-pinion focuser comes with a 1.25-inch adapter to accommodate a range of eyepieces and accessories
  • Additional accessories include a red dot finder scope for locating objects in the night sky and a smartphone adapter to aid in simple astrophotography
