Dobsonians are actually reflector telescopes that use the classic optical system of a Newtonian, except the scope sits on a mount like the one you see above. Typical Dobsonians come in 6 to 12-inch sizes. The Saxon 10" Collapsible Dobsonian Telescope is an example of a 10-inch tube.   Features 254mm aperture 1200mm focal length (F/4.7) Dobsonian Mount Includes 2 eyepieces (100m and 25mm) and 9x50 Finder 2" Crayford Focuser with 1.25" Adapter   The simplified mount of the Dobsonian makes it very easy to take apart (tube and mount can be separated) and assemble for transporting or storage. What's even better about the Saxon 10" Collapsible Dobsonian Telescope is the collapsible tube that folds inward at the middle of the tube. Being extra small and well protected with lens caps, this telescope makes for easy storage. If you are planning to take your telescope along on camping trips, you'll love how this scope is hardly a space hogger! To top it off, all of the new Collapsible Dobsonians are shipping now with ultra smooth Crayford focusers and the 10mm and 25mm 1.25" Plossl Eyepieces. The Saxon 10" Collapsible Dobsonian Telescope is covered by a 5-Year Warranty.   Recommended Accessories saxon Light Shroud for 10-inch Collapsible Dobsonian TelescopeReduces stray light escaping from the exposed steel tubes of a collapsible reflector telescope and protects against dew forming on the mirrors on humid nights. saxon ScopePix Smartphone Adapter 3sCapture images through your telescope on your smartphone using the ScopePix Smartphone Adapter 3s.
