Used: Orion SkyQuest XX12i 12" f/4.9 Dobsonian with Object locator

Orion SkyQuest XX12i IntelliScope - 305mm f/4.9 Truss Dobsonian with object locator

A powerful dobsonian for stargazers who value large aperture and easy object finding through the object locator.

12" aperture offers great observing experiences under good starry skies. The forced coating of the main and secondary mirrors makes the image even brighter. For example, galaxies already show structures.

The rocker box of the XX14i is particularly stable and has lateral stiffeners. This suppresses wobbling and ensures good viewing comfort even at high magnifications.

The object locator allows observing without spending time searching for objects. Enter the object and the astrocomputer guides you to the target. All you have to do is move the telescope. This process is silent and power-saving because there is no need for motors.

The high quality 2" Crayford focuser allows accurate focusing without wobbling. The 1:10 micro reduction offers modern convenience. Even less experienced observers can achieve good focus.

The main mirror cell of the XX14i is computer-optimised and has a nun-point bearing. The built-in fan accelerates the cooling process of the main mirror. Of course, the main and secondary mirrors are fully adjustable.

837 stars incl. double stars and variable stars
