LightBridge dobs give you high quality Meade optics, premium components, and ultra portability - all for about the same price as an ordinary closed-tube dobsonian. So get a LightBridge.

Diffraction Limited Optics. Meade optics consistently outperform telescopes of similar and larger aperture. Consumers know that "Meade Optics Inside" means that what they see through our telescopes will be views that are detailed, crisp and full of contrast.
Meade Optical Coatings. Aluminum Coatings with magnesium fluoride over coat provides bright images full of detail.
2" Crayford-Style Machined Aluminum Focuser With 1.25" Adapter. Smooth precise focusing is achieved with this classic design. A unique focus tension knob and focus lock design gives complete control over focus.
Steel RA Roller Bearings. Roller bearings make movements smooth and effortless.
Built-In Primary Mirror Cooling Fan. Bring the telescope into thermal equilibrium quickly and efficiently with the battery powered cooling fan. The fan is mounted to the rear of the "vented" primary mirror cell for fast cool down.
Advanced Four-Reticle Red Dot Viewfinder. Four reticles and varying brightness controls allow this deluxe finder to adjust to your observing needs.
26mm QX™ Wide Angle 2" Eyepiece Deluxe Model. This premium eyepiece has a 2" barrel, and boasts a whopping 70° Apparent Field of View.
The Standard ScopeBuggy can support the weight of any commmercially available scope/mount on the market today, and has been tested to 600-lbs. With it's single-wheel design, the ScopeBuggy allows you easier access and mobility while viewing than our multi-wheeled competitor. There is no need for more than three wheels!
Please note that the Standard ScopeBuggy is perfect for use with any of the Meade LightBridge series scopes.
Our large truss Dob Cover series offer large Dob owners the best possible protection available in a scope cover. They provide superior rain and moister protection; they are not just water resistant. They are extremely tough and can provide years of service under normal use.
The TeleGizmos material performance is unaffected by wind, sun, sub-freezing temperatures or UV. The fully aluminized/poly exterior surface will keep your scope significantly cooler on hot summer days translating into much faster cool down times once the sun sets.
Designed to give the best possible fit, these covers have two main connected components: The main tube section is four connected tapered panels, the narrowest point starting at the UTA and then gradually widening to the point of attachment at the rocker box. The rocker section of the cover is boxed shape to conform the general shape of the rocker. All connection seam points are double lapped and micro-stitched. The resulting seam is highly resistant to moister penetration to assure your scope will stay dry under even the hardest rains.TGLB-16H
The new TGLB-16H is specifically designed for the LightBridge 16" scope, dedicated horizontal park position.
