Key Features
- Large 10" f/4.7 Aperture
- 1200mm Focal Length
- Highly Reflective Borosilicate Mirror
- Space-Saving Collapsible Tube Design
Sporting the large light bucket users have come to expect from a Dob, the Sky-Watcher Flextube 250P SynScan 10" f/4.7 Dobsonian GoTo AZ Telescope gives users great performance at a reasonable price. Its large parabolic Borosilicate primary mirror is treated with an aluminum coating that brings its reflectivity to over 94%, with a secondary mirror obstruction of just 6% by area. Unlike traditional Dobsonians that tend to be bulky and unwieldy, the Flextube's patented truss design allows it to retract to just 33" for easier transport and storage and extends to 44" for observation.
