The
Skywatcher 6" Dobsonian Telescope is a Dobsonian telescope - a great "bang for your buck" scope, it has a large 6 inch aperture size (diameter of the primary (objective) mirror. Dobsonian telescopes like this one are popular amongst amateur astronomers for being able to get large aperture sizes at affordable price points. Larger than most telescopes - they typically measure up to 120cm in height, telescopes like the
Skywatcher 6" Dobsonian Telescope are powerful, easy to use, and straightforward.
Tension Control Handles for Steady Movement
Its "paraboloidal" primary mirror eliminates spherical aberration and a four-arm, secondary- mirror bracket with fine supports (0.5mm thick) works to reduce diffraction spikes and light loss. In addition, this model include a 2" focuser with a 1.25" adapter, allowing the use of either eyepiece size. This model also include the new
feature-tension control handle.
The Skywatcher 6" Dobsonian Telescope includes the new feature-tension control handle. The secret of the design is to correctly balance the optical tube with special designed handles on the base. The design adds enough friction and tension to allow the tube to move easily when nudged but to stay in position when not. Users can easily add or reduce tension by turning on the handle. This feature solves the common balance problem found on many Dobsonians.
