SkyWatcher 12" - 300mm Collapsible GoTo Dobsonian Telescope - Second Hand

We have had a 12"Goto Dobsonian traded in. It's in mint condition and has mint-condition boxes and accessories. It also comes with an aftermarket AstroZap shroud. This version also has built-in Wi-Fi. The telescope has been tested.

Explore planets, nebulae, star clusters and galaxies with the Sky-Watcher Dobsonian SynScan. Combining the simplicity of a traditional Dobsonian with computerised Go-To convenience, this telescope makes it easier to find and enjoy the wonders of the night sky.

Its patented collapsible tube design delivers a practical combination of portability, ease of use and consistent performance, while the SynScan AZ hand controller puts a database of 42,900 celestial objects at your fingertips. Collapsible Design for Easy Transport

The carefully engineered truss tube design collapses without needing to be disassembled between observing sessions. The telescope transports as two compact pieces and can be assembled ready for use in seconds.

Once set up, it is easy to collimate and designed to maintain its collimation throughout the evening. The patented Tension Control Handle lets you adjust the friction between the optical tube and the sideboards to suit your preferred feel. Find More with SynScan Go-To

Spend less time searching and more time observing. The SynScan AZ hand controller allows you to select a specific celestial object or take a guided tour of the night sky at the touch of a button.

Its user-friendly menu provides automatic slewing to 42,900 objects, with features that even new astronomers can become familiar with over a few observing sessions. Freedom Find™ Dual-Encoder Technology

Enjoy the freedom to move the telescope manually or electronically in either axis without losing its alignment or positional information.

After moving to a new object, the telescope resumes tracking without requiring you to repeat the alignment process during the same observing session. Key Features
