Skywatcher Skyliner 400P Synscan - 16 inch f/4.4 GoTo Dobsonian reflector

The new ultimate Dobsonian is born!

Combining the power of a large optical tube, the extreme portability of the patented collapsible FlexTube design and SynScan computerised Go-To technology, the new Skyliner FlexTube Synscan Dobsonians bring over 42,900 celestial objects right in front of your eyes and automatically track them as they move across the night sky - its as easy as a walk in the park!

The patented dual-encoder design allows you to manually move the telescope anytime and to anywhere you wish - with no need for realignment. Slewing to an object on the opposite side of the night sky no longer feels like watching a kettle boil. Simply push the tube close to the object and let the computer do the rest of the work.

Important note about power supply:

To avoid loss of warranty, please use only the power supplies and mobile supplies recommended by us.
