Orion SkyQuest XX12i Dobsonian Telescope, Shroud & Case Set


Orion SkyQuest XX12i Dobsonian Telescope, Shroud & Case SetIf the idea of a big-aperture telescope appeals to you, but the portability issue has kept you on the fence, you can hop off it now. We've got the perfect solution - the SkyQuest XX12i IntelliScope Truss Tube Dob. It's a deep-sky observer's dream scope, offering jumbo 12" Pyrex optics (f/4.9); a stylish, reduced-weight base outfitted with IntelliScope object location technology; and a sturdy truss tube design that disassembles in about a minute into compact, easily portable components. Finally, a deluxe, large-aperture Dobsonian that fits comfortably in a compact car for transport to your favorite observing site! The eight trusses (four captive pairs) provide more-rigid support than other designs in this category. We've also outfitted the XX12i base with nothing but the best materials: EbonyStar laminate and Virgin Teflon azimuth bearing surfaces provide silky smooth azimuth motion. Equipped with dual-speed (11:1) 2" Crayford focuser, large 8" altitude bearings, full set of great accessories, a computerized database of 14,000 celestial objects -- and a price just north of a grand! -- the XX12i is one killer telescope deal. One-year limited warranty. Package includes a custom designed water-resistant shroud and three waterproof, double-stitched polyester/nylon cases especially designed for the SkyQuest XX12i.
