Skywatcher STARGATE-450P Synscan GoTo-Dobson
With this mirror diameter, you see structures in nebulae and galaxies, details are resolved. Finest details in nebulae and galaxies come to light, edge stars of star clusters do not remain hidden to you. Even the color perception with some bright mists is possible!
Details in abundance in the moon and planets will captivate you for a long time, this abundance of image information will not cease. The excellent optics and its enormous image brightness make every observation a special pleasure. The visual image is already reminiscent of the quality of professional recordings!

The metal tube lattice can be disassembled into very easily transportable items and can even be transported in a small car. Assuming a little experience, the assembly takes only about 20 minutes.

The mount with its two driven axles can computer-controlled approach and track any of the 42,900 objects from the Synscan database of the handbox.

Equipped with the 'Freedom Find' dual encoder technology, manual movements can be performed without loss of position information. Therefore, you can work more flexibly. You can quickly position the next target by hand, then the computer takes over the rest of the exact positioning! Long and noisy repositioning is thus eliminated.
