Ultra Light Dobsonian 406mm – Generation II
Redesigned for Performance, Built for Deep Sky

No telescope has reshaped amateur astronomy quite like the Dobsonian. Before John Dobson introduced this revolutionary design, most amateur astronomers were limited to small, shaky refractors that barely revealed planetary details. Larger telescopes, such as Schmidt-Cassegrains, were a luxury available to only a few. The Dobsonian changed everything—with its brilliant blend of simple mechanics and massive aperture, it delivered unmatched performance at a fraction of the cost, becoming a global success.

A well-built Dobsonian gives you more aperture for your investment than any other telescope type. Inspired by the idea of “held together by gravity and powered by enthusiasm,” this modernized classic is engineered by amateur astronomers, for amateur astronomers.

Despite its 406mm aperture, this telescope is easy to transport, fitting even in compact vehicles. Assembly is quick and tool-free. Its design strikes the perfect balance between rigidity and weight, thanks to an optimized aluminum-sandwich construction and large altitude wheels that ensure buttery-smooth tracking—even at high magnifications. The focuser is pre-positioned to accommodate a coma corrector, making this the ideal deep-sky powerhouse. With over 3300 times the light-gathering power of the human eye, it reveals rich planetary detail and an astonishing number of deep-sky targets. Watch globular clusters resolve to their cores, and let the lunar terminator leave you breathless.
