Dobsonian-style base
A sturdy and efficiently movable tabletop Dobsonian-style base allows for quick yet smooth adjustments and reliable long-term viewing, while its low profile makes accessing the eyepiece easier.

Using StarSense sky recognition technology alongside your smartphone’s app the telescope can analyse star patterns overhead and calculate the telescope’s position in real time. Through this, you can locate faint, deep-sky objects in seconds and see them in incredible detail. The app will automatically generate a list of objects currently visible so you can easily view planets, brighter nebulae and galaxies, star clusters, and double stars even from the city.
