A revolution in the world of amateur astronomy, the FirstLight 254mm f/5 N1270mm Dobsonian Telescope with Manual Alt-Azimuth Mount, White, has redefined the standards of telescopic technology. This Dobsonian telescope, named after its inventor John Dobson, has transformed the hobby by making large, high-quality telescopes accessible beyond the affluent circles. The FirstLight Dobsonian Telescope is a marvel of ingenious design, combining simple yet effective mechanisms with the largest possible aperture. This unique blend has led to its global popularity, offering unparalleled light gathering capabilities, providing exceptional value for money. The standout feature of this telescope is its universal design, courtesy of Explore Scientific. This innovative design allows the Dobsonian to be converted into a Newtonian telescope, opening up the possibility of astrophotography. The conversion is as simple as unscrewing the bearings from the tube and placing the scope on an EQ mount using the included Vixen style dovetail plate. The telescope comes equipped with a 2.5" HEX focuser with helical gearing, providing unrivaled stiffness and easy focusing. This feature also allows the use of both 1.25" and 2" eyepieces, making it a versatile tool for all your stargazing needs. The inclusion of the 2.5" Hex focuser is a significant upgrade for telescopes in this price range. The FirstLight Dobsonian Telescope also includes a Red Dot viewfinder and a 25mm SPL eyepiece, enhancing your celestial viewing experience. For those who need to transport their telescope, this model offers a compact solution. The Rockerbox can be easily dismantled using a few tools, thanks to the metal quick connectors. This transforms a bulky rocker box into a convenient, flat package of boards. This telescope is the ideal tool for deep sky observers. It offers detailed views of planets and deep sky objects, making celestial wonders visible even to inexperienced observers. Star clusters shine brightly, resolved to the core, and the sight of the moon's terminator is an unforgettable experience. For optimal viewing, the scope is ready for use with our optional coma corrector. In summary, the FirstLight 254mm f/5 N1270mm Dobsonian Telescope with Manual Alt-Azimuth Mount, White, is a game-changer in the world of amateur astronomy, offering high-quality, versatile, and affordable stargazing solutions.
