SkyWatcher Skyliner 400P FlexTube Dobsonian

 The Sky-Watcher SkyLiner FlexTube Dobsonian series provide high storage space efficiency for these large scopes. The telescope requires much smaller space when folded. The set up procedure does not require any tools and can be performed in minutes, even without the need of recollimating the optics. The dobsonian mount moves very smoothly.

The 400mm model gathers 80% more light than the 300mm model, but , which is a huge advantage when observing faint deep-sky objects. A 16-17m of visual stellar magnitude limit can be reached, meaning that galaxies and other deep-sky objects reveal their details, close to short exposure photos. Can be used for lunar and planetary observing as well, can reveal extremely fine details, for example the Encke-gap in the saturnian ring system. Can use also used for close binary stars as well (optics are diffraction limited or better). Tube length is 1685mm in working mode and 1070mm in folder storage state.

The telescope comes with the following accessories:

- 2" smooth Dual-speed Crayford-type focuser
- 9x50 achromatic spring-load finderscope
- 10mm and 25mm Plossl eyepieces
