Explore Scientific - Generation II - 16-inch Truss Tube Dobsonian Telescope - ES-DOB1645-01

The Explore Scientific 16-inch Generation II Truss Tube Dobsonian is a deep-sky telescope built for observers who want serious aperture without the cost of a Schmidt-Cassegrain. Its 406mm primary mirror gathers more than 2,400 times the light of the naked eye, resolving star clusters to their core and revealing fine planetary and lunar detail even for less experienced observers. The truss tube design disassembles without tools, so the scope breaks down for transport in a compact car despite its large aperture.

• 406mm (16") Primary Mirror: F/4.5 optical system with a 1,826mm focal length and theoretical maximum magnification of 800x.
• Tool-Free Truss Disassembly: Breaks down for easy transport without sacrificing structural rigidity once reassembled.
• 2" Focuser with 10:1 Reduction: Helical gearing focuser paired with an LED red dot finder and collimation assist tool.
• Cooling and Baffling Included: Two radial main mirror fans and a soft light baffle speed temperature equilibrium for sharper views.
• Coma Corrector Ready: Compatible with Explore Scientific's optional coma corrector for edge-to-edge sharpness.
• Transferable Warranty: 1-year limited warranty upgrades to Explore Scientific's transferable STAR warranty upon registration.
