Often referred to as '˜light buckets', Dobsonians provide users with the highest possible aperture for their money when compared to telescopes of a similar size, such as Schmidt-Cassegrains or refractors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in the 1970s, the Dobsonian-style telescope is an inexpensive solution for bright, detailed visual observing using a simple design. The name '˜Dobsonian' comes from the telescope's inventor, John Dobson, a Vedanta monk who popularized sidewalk astronomy, and dedicated his life to astronomy outreach. Dobson was well known for constructing large aperture reflecting telescopes capable of deep sky viewing, using low cost materials. These were often made with found materials, heavy cardboard tubes, recycled porthole glass, and plywood mounts. Dobson, who literally wrote the book on how and why to make amateur telescopes, encouraged other astronomers to assemble their own telescopes and taught workshops on telescope making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flextube Dobsonian innovates on that original design, offering users the ability to collapse the optical tube using a proprietary truss-tube system while retaining its collimation. The optical tube uses a parabolic primary mirror, constructed of borosilicate, then polished and coated with our proprietary Radiant Aluminum Quartz (RAQ), producing a remarkable 94% reflectivity. With a 12-inch aperture, the Flextube 300P Dobsonian collects 1840 times more light than the human eye! This simple yet effective design is perfect for visual observation of faint objects, such as nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupporting the Flextube Dobsonian is more than just a simple rocker box. The base uses Teflon bearings for smooth, easy Azimuth slewing and a patented tension control handle to lock the telescope in place. Once locked on an object, the telescope can support both 1.25-inch eyepieces as well as the heavier 2-inch eyepieces, allowing you to use virtually any eyepiece on the market.

By using a lightweight 150mm parabolic primary mirror and a compact, manual azimuth mount, the Heritage 150 is the perfect blend of portability and aperture, just as Newton intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollecting 363% more light than the human eye and 44% more light than the 130mm model, the Heritage 150 uses the same optics as our Classic 150P Dobsonian, but at a fraction of the size and cost. Each mirror is constructed of durable borosilicate glass with our signature Radiant Aluminum Quartz (RAQ)coating. The optical tube uses a unique system that allows it to be collapsed for easy portability and storage while retaining collimation. If you're looking for a grab-and-go travel telescope that delivers a bold, full size viewing experience, look no further than the Heritage 150.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts lightweight azimuth base uses Teflon bearings for smooth, accurate slewing and has an altitude locking knob for steady viewing. The base also features skid resistant, vibration suppressing rubber feet, offering a stabilized view while allowing the telescope to be setup virtually anywhere with minimal vibration, making this telescope the perfect camping companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eOptical Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNewtonian\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMirror Coatings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRadiant Aluminum Quartz (RAQ) coatings with 94% reflectivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBorosilicate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Aperture (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF\/Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Obstruction (by diameter)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Obstruction by Area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eObservational Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDawes Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.77\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRayleigh Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.93\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimiting Mag.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.36\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e295x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Gathering (compared to 130mm telescope)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eGeneral Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.25\" Helical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Length (Retract\/Ext.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.75\"\/48\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Outer Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e184mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Weight (with accessories)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 pounds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDob Base Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.5 pounds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDob Base Measurements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.75\"x17\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZenith Eyepiece Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eAccessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Finder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed Dot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Diagonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Eyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm and 10mm SUPER eyepiece (1.25\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnification w\/ Included Eyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30x (25mm)\/75x (10mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sky-Watcher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42102786916604,"sku":"S11710","price":430.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/7702\/9116\/files\/150p.png?v=1760131056"},{"product_id":"sky-watcher-quattro-200p-imaging-newtonian-8","title":"Sky-Watcher Quattro 200P 8\"  Imaging Newtonian Telescope OTA (S11210)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Quattro imaging Newtonian is an affordable, large aperture astrograph, ideal for users searching for a fast imaging system that will work for both astrophotography and visual astronomy.

Like the optics, the tube is beautifully crafted using aluminum and finished with a black diamond metal-flake finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing a doublet refractor instead of a triplet has some advantages: less glass means less weight, less weight means a less expensive telescope, so you can dedicate more money for your camera or laptop while benefiting from a lightweight astrophotography rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evostar 80ED comes in a foam-lined aluminum case fully loaded with accessories, including: 2-inch Crayford-style focuser, 2-inch dielectric diagonal, two 1.25-inch eyepieces (5mm and 25mm), an 8x50 right-angle finderscope, tube rings, and a V-style dovetail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eOptical Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eED Doublet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLens Coatings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully Multi-Coated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBK7\/FPL-53(ED)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrue Aperture (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8000%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Aperture (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF\/Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60000%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eObservational Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDawes Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e145%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRayleigh Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.75\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimiting Mag.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e157\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Gathering (compared to next size down)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eGeneral Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" Dual Speed Crayford\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Length (Retract\/Ext.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Outer Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5625\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Weight (with accessories)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eAccessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Finder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8x50 RACI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Diagonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" Dielectric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRings\/V-Rail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Eyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm LET\/5 Planetary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnification w\/ Included Eyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30x\/120x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorrector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo (optional)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sky-Watcher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42107136999676,"sku":"S11100","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/7702\/9116\/products\/evostar80ed-1-sw.jpg?v=1645512721"},{"product_id":"sky-watcher-esprit-100ed-super-apo-triplet","title":"Sky-Watcher Esprit 100ED Super APO Triplet Refractor Telescope OTA (S11410)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDesigned with the discerning astrophotographer in mind, Sky-Watcher's top-of-the-line refractors deliver the kind of imaging performance one would expect from telescopes costing thousands of dollars more.

Like the optics, the tube is beautifully crafted using aluminum and finished with a black diamond metal-flake finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing a doublet refractor instead of a triplet has some advantages: less glass means less weight, less weight means a less expensive telescope, so you can dedicate more money for your camera or laptop while benefiting from a lightweight astrophotography rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evostar 150ED comes in a foam-lined aluminum case with tube rings, and a V-style dovetail plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eOptical Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eED Doublet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLens Coatings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully Multi-Coated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrue Aperture (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Aperture (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF\/Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1040\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eObservational Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDawes Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.77\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRayleigh Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.93\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimiting Mag.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Gathering (compared to next size down)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e71%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eGeneral Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" Dual Speed Crayford\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Length (Retract\/Ext.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Outer Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.1\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Weight (with accessories)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eAccessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRings\/V-Rail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorrector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo (optional)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sky-Watcher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42416406298876,"sku":"S11190","price":4587.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/7702\/9116\/products\/evostar150ed-1-sw.jpg?v=1645512659"},{"product_id":"sky-watcher-startravel-120-az3","title":"Sky-Watcher StarTravel 120 AZ3 Refractor Telescope (S10105)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Sky-Watcher 120mm (4\") f\/5 telescope is a two-element, air-spaced, fully multi-coated objective, achromatic refractor, which can give exciting \"rich field\" astronomical views.

No colour distortion means you don't have to spend extra money on exotic glass like you would for a similar sized APO refractor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Starlux 190 Mak-Newt you get a fast, APO refractor performance with less weight and significantly less cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eOptical Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMak-Newtonian\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMirror Coatings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRadiant Aluminum Quartz (RAQ) coatings with 94% reflectivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLens Coatings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully Multi-Coated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBK7\/Borosilicate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Aperture (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e203\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF\/Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Obstruction (by diameter)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Obstruction by Area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eObservational Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDawes Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.61\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRayleigh Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.74\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimiting Mag.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e374\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Gathering (compared to next size down)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eGeneral Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" Dual Speed Crayford\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Length (Retract\/Ext.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Outer Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Weight (with accessories)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eAccessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Finder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8x50 RACI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Diagonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRings\/V-Rail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Eyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorrector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sky-Watcher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42416876945660,"sku":"S11550","price":3300.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/7702\/9116\/products\/RS1858_S11550_Starlux190_OTAOnly_LeftFront_NoBackground-scr_1800x1800_3eaf04c0-cd9e-4182-828f-d8fce817e130-sw.jpg?v=1645513337"},{"product_id":"sky-watcher-skymax-180","title":"Sky-Watcher Skymax 180 Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope OTA (S11540)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you're seeking crisp, contrasty views with high levels of detail, look no further than the Skymax series, Sky-Watcher's premiere line of Maksutov-Cassegrains.

All Maksutovs use a corrector plate to help reduce chromatic aberration, which is then coated using our signature Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC), producing professional grade optics at an affordable price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Skymax 127 includes a 2-inch 28mm eyepiece, 6x30 finderscope, V-style dovetail, and 2-inch diagonal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eOptical Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMak-Cass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMirror Coatings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRadiant Aluminum Quartz (RAQ) coatings with 94% reflectivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLens Coatings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully Multi-Coated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBK7\/Borosilicate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Aperture (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e127\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF\/Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1540\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Obstruction (by diameter)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Obstruction by Area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eObservational Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDawes Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e91%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRayleigh Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimiting Mag.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Gathering (compared to next size down)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eGeneral Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Mirror\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Length (Retract\/Ext.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Outer Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.75\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Weight (with accessories)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eAccessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Finder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6x30 Finder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Diagonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" Star Diagonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eV-Rail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Eyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 LET\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnification w\/ Included Eyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sky-Watcher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42417062347004,"sku":"S11520","price":850.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/7702\/9116\/products\/RS1357_S11520_Skymax127_OTAOnly_LeftFront_NoBackground-scr_1800x1800_5466c29d-cf71-4ebb-b9b7-1de33ba5b517-sw.jpg?v=1645513135"},{"product_id":"sky-watcher-quattro-300p12-imaging-newtonian","title":"Sky-Watcher Quattro 300P 12\" Imaging Newtonian Telescope OTA (S11230)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Quattro imaging Newtonian is an affordable, large aperture astrograph, ideal for users searching for a fast imaging system that will work for both astrophotography and visual astronomy.

The name '˜Dobsonian' comes from the telescope's inventor, John Dobson, a Vedanta monk who popularized sidewalk astronomy and dedicated his life to astronomy outreach. Dobson was well known for constructing large aperture reflecting telescopes capable of deep sky viewing, using low cost materials. These were often made with found materials, heavy cardboard tubes, recycled porthole glass, and plywood mounts. Dobson, who literally wrote the book on how and why to make amateur telescopes, encouraged other astronomers to assemble their own telescopes and taught workshops on telescope making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Classic Dobsonian uses a parabolic primary mirror design, constructed of borosilicate, then polished and coated with our proprietary Radiant Aluminum Quartz (RAQ), producing a remarkable 94% reflectivity. With a 6-inch aperture, the Classic 150P Dobsonian collects 460 times more light than the human eye! This simple yet effective design is perfect for visual observation of faint objects, such as nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupporting the Classic Dobsonian is more than just a simple rocker box. The base uses Teflon bearings for smooth, easy azimuth slewing and a patented tension control handle to lock the telescope in place. Once locked on an object, the telescope can support both 1.25-inch accessories as well as the heavier 2-inch eyepieces, allowing you to use virtually any eyepiece on the market. The Classic Dobsonian includes two 1.25-inch eyepieces, a 1.25-inch adapter, a 2-inch eyepiece adapter, dust caps and a 6x30 finderscope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Sky-Watcher, we stay true to the traditional John Dobson design, using just two mirrors, a metal tube, and a simple rocker box.
