Skywatcher has developed with the new skyliner series an advancement of Dobsonian engineering. It is possible to push the whole tube together. Therefore the dobson becomes ultracompact for transport and also for storage. When you receive your observation point you only have to extend the tube and in in a very short time you have a complete telescope ready to use.

Skyliner 16" Flex Tube Dobsonian:

This is the biggest Dobsonian of Skywatcher and of course the biggest transportable Dobsonian in our opinion. This instrument shows you COLOR in deep sky. Nebulae and galaxies looks like on an astrophoto.

Positioning the 16" Skyliner Dobsonian:

Positioning the SKEXD16 is very easy. The horizontal and vertical adjustment happens through bush bearings. At every position the optics stay at their place. You only have to move the telescope, leave it and you are able to observe. The adjustment of the altitude decrees through a so called "Tension Control". So you are able to adjust the clearance of the adjustment of altitude and also to lock the telescope.

The 2" focuser:

The Dobsonian owns a smooth running and accurate 2" focuser with a reduction for 1.25" equipment. The focuser is ball beared (Crayford) and offers an accurate focusing, even if you are using heavy eyepieces. So you can use powerful 2" eyepieces, which offers you a bright picture and a gigantic field of view. As a matter of course you can also use 1.25" eyepieces!

"Bin mit der Ware sehr zufrieden. Habe ein Skywatcher Dobson Flextube 400 P, bestellt sowie einige sehr gute Markenokulare u.a. das Explore Scientific 9mm 120° sowie das Televue 3,7 mm 100°. *** Bin sehr zufrieden. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen, Daumen hoch. "
