Bintel 10 inch Dobsonian, Push-To with Nexus-2 DSC
10-inch Dobsonian telescope + 4 eyepieces.
Telescope is a Bintel BT252, new $1189
Upgraded base & digital encoders cost $650
Nexus-2 is $285 new
Nexus-2 connects the telescope encoders to your smartphone via Wi-Fi, enabling precise object location and easy tracking.
Faint outer planets Uranus, Neptune & Pluto can be located in seconds, as can difficult-to-find comets, galaxies and nebula.
Gondwana Telescopes founder and scope builder Alexander Massey was commissioned to build the upgraded base from marine plywood with digital encoders.
The custom base Alex built looks like a piece of art.
Encoders and Nexus-2 DSC (digital setting circles) enable you to view 20-30 galaxies per hour with breathtaking accuracy. This is very helpful in April, May & June when the rich Virgo galaxy cluster is at its best (see last photo).
Includes 4 matching Plossl eyepieces: 30mm, 15mm, 12.5mm and 4mm.
Pick-up from Roseville 2069 NSW
