Fortunately, at low power, deep-space objects leisurely drift through the field of the SW 12" DOB, so constant mechanical adjustment of the telescope's orientation isn't needed to keep objects in the field of view. Ball-bearings make unintended movement of the optical tube more difficult to control. Sky-Watcher's Teflon bearing system is preferable to the use of ball-bearings. This also eliminates the need to have a balanced optical tube as in an equatorial mount. To ensure mechanical ease-of-use, SW uses a high performance Teflon bearing system in both axes combined with tension adjustment in altitude to facilitate setting the appropriate amount of friction, assuring smooth vertical and horizontal manual movement without free-play from small bumps or gusts of wind. Multi-coated, 4-element Pl?ssl eyepieces (25mm and 10mm) provide a spacious 52? Apparent Field of View. The standard-equipment backlash-free 2" Crayford Focuser insures ultra smooth focusing adjustments. An 8x50mm Right Angle optical viewfinder provides both magnification and light-gathering to help narrow your search for those elusive fuzzies when star-hopping. Just swing your Flextube Dobsonian to the quadrant of sky to be searched, and scan the vicinity. Observing with a Dobsonian has been described akin to shooting ducks in a gallery because it is so easy to find your target. The 12" Sky-Watcher Establishes a New Standard in Large Aperture Ease-of-Use Again, Sky-Watcher's compact, collapsible optical tube design makes this super aperture 12" DOB a far more practical decision to purchase. The incremental resolving power of the SW 12" aperture is beyond just being impressive, it's within amateur astronomy's super aperture threshold where the lucky observer is able to resolve well, many, many objects that smaller telescopes just don't have the horsepower to detail satisfactorily because they can't pull in enough light. The list goes on, and you will delight in planning your own journey of exploration. M61, a spiral galaxy in Constellation Virgo, will reveal spiral arms as you would hope to see them, but you will need a SW 12" telescope to resolve them well. No worries, the SW 12" DOB will fulfill your quest. M97, a planetary nebula in Ursa Major is very faint, but as a serious amateur you will want to see it. The SW 12" will capture this baby like you want to see it. Located in Constellation Perseus, M76, is a very faint nebula of 11th magnitude. Here at last is a telescope within the threshold to tackle elusive deep-space gems like the Horsehead Nebula in Constellation Orion. Comet hunters will delight in the fainter magnitudes that are possible to discern in the SW 12" DOB. Objects just within the threshold of a 10" aperture now appear more prominent and may be worth dwelling upon for extended periods. Many of the more challenging to resolve objects in smaller diameter telescopes now reveal their essential structure. Be advised this Light Chariot is one sweet astronomical ride!Įverything in deep-space appears brighter, and wider in extension with the SW 12" DOB. Well, so much for ego satisfaction-the point is-the SW 12" DOB is a serious telescope that will be purchased by a serious amateur who wants serious deep-sky penetrating resolution. Astronomy is a great hobby to share, and a SW 12" DOB makes you potentially the hit of any star party. You can not only be a hero to yourself, but a mystical guru to other backyard astronomers, scout groups, friends, and neighbors. Except they say, "WOW!", when they view through this super aperture amateur 12" SW telescope. In fact, a very significant wow-factor extends down to viewing the stuff people usually concentrate on with 8" and 10" telescopes. If you are shooting for well resolved, elusive 12th-magnitude fuzzies, you now have the power.
