As a rule, any small increase in aperture diameter can mean a significant increase in image size, light collection and magnification. With a massive 16" aperture the Skywatcher 16" Go-To Computerized Dobsonian Telescope is one of the largest telescopes on the consumer market. This large aperture allows the telescope to gather significant light, revealing intricate details of distant galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. The parabolic primary mirror ensures high-quality, clear images with a resolving power of 0.30 arcseconds.   Features Massive 16" aperture 20m (Low) and 10mm (High) magnification eyepieces included 9x50 Finderscope Go-To Computerised Mount 2" Eyepiece Compatible Collapsible Tube 5 Year Australian Warranty   Featuring a collapsible truss tube on an altazimuth dobsonian base, the Skywatcher 16" Go-To Computerized Dobsonian Telescope is not only easy to use but excellent value. The innovative collapsible design includes a 3-point tube locking system for easy setup and storage. The telescope’s tube extends from 1071mm to 1685mm and weighs 24.9kg, combining portability with substantial light-gathering power. This design eliminates the need for disassembly or collimation between uses. Coupled with a computerised Go-To mount with a built-in 49,200 object database for fast location and easy tracking, makes for a great User experience. Excellent for those who need some help finding their way around the night sky. The system supports multiple slew speeds (1x to 1000x) and tracking rates (sidereal, lunar, and solar), with alignment procedures including brightest-star and two-star alignment. Nebulae, Galaxies, Planets and Star Clusters will be highly viewable. The surface detail of planets and the individual rings of Saturn will be easily observed.     Full Specifications Optical Tube Assembly (OTA) Optical Design Newtonian Reflector Aperture 406mm (16") Focal Length 1800mm Focal Ratio f/4.4 Secondary Mirror Diameter 102.0mm Secondary Mirror Obstruction 25.1% Resolving Power 0.30" Stellar Limit Magnitude 15.8 Highest Practical Magnification 812x Light gathering power (compared to naked eye) 3364x Focuser 2" Crayford with 1.25" Adapter Included Eyepiece 10mm (180x), 25mm (72x Magnification) Finderscope 9x50 Optical tube length 1071mm-1685mm Telescope tube weight 30kg Computerised Mount Mount Type GOTO Dobsonian Mount WiFi Capable Yes - Built-in Slew Speeds 1x, 2x, 8x, 16x, 32x, 200x, 400x, 600x, 800x, 1000x Tracking Rates Sidereal, Lunar, Solar Tracking Modes AZ Power Requirements 10 to 15V 1A, 2.1mm Plug (Center positive) Motor Drive DC Servo Alignment Procedures Brightest-Star Alignment, Two-Star Alignment Computerised Hand Controller Yes Database 42,900+ objects  Warranty 5 Years   Recommended Accessories saxon 12v 5A Australia AC Power AdapterSupply your computerised telescope with a constant voltage with a 12V 5A power adapter.  Skywatcher Light Shroud for Dobsonian - 16 inchReduces stray light escaping from the exposed steel tubes of a collapsible reflector telescope and protects against dew forming on the mirrors on humid nights.   Celestron Omni 2x Barlow LensDouble the magnification of your telescope with a barlow lens.
