Taurus T400 16" Truss Dobsonian Telescope
This powerful Dobsonian with 406 mm aperture is exactly the right for true Dobsonian enthusiasts. Anyone who has ever observed with a high aperture telescope on a star party under dark skies knows that with such a telescope observation is totally redefined. Details usually known only from astro images can suddenly be seen live. Brighter objects show colors. And galaxies show structures in the spiral arms.

What´s really special about this telescope is its mobility. With only 31 kg total weight, the heaviest single part weighs only 18.5 kg, the Dobsonian can still be moved easily by one person. Thus one is independent and can "go to the field" with the telescope at any time. The Polish manufacturer remains true to the 1 person motto also after assembling. The collimation of the primary mirror is done at the side of the focuser.

The advantages of the Dobsonian telescopes from Taurus at a glance:
Ultra-light design for convenient transport.
Easy set-up and dismantling - can be done by one single person.
Tube construction from aluminum 6063 for high stiffness - holds the collimation during the whole night.
Comfortable collimation without tools, the primary mirror is adjusted with three rotary knobs from the front (mirror) side.
High-quality optics from Poland - Professional Line (1/8 Lambda P-V / 96% reflectivity).
Stable primary mirror cell with computer optimized supports.
Comes in a stable wooden box which can also be used for further transportation.
