The saxon 16″ DeepSky Truss Dobsonian Telescope (406/1830) delivers outstanding deep-sky performance with a powerful 406mm aperture and precision paraboloidal optics. Its truss-tube design allows for easier transport and storage, while the smooth Dobsonian mount ensures intuitive, stable operation. Ideal for observers seeking bright, detailed views of galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters in a large yet manageable telescope.

Details

The saxon 16″ DeepSky Truss Dobsonian Telescope (406/1830) is a serious light-gathering powerhouse designed for observers who want breathtaking deep-sky performance without sacrificing portability or ease of use.

This large-aperture Dobsonian features a 406mm primary mirror and a 1830mm focal length, delivering exceptional views of faint galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters, while still providing crisp, high-contrast lunar and planetary detail. Its truss-tube design allows the optical tube to break down into a more compact form, making transport and storage far more manageable than a traditional full-tube telescope of this size. Once assembled, the truss structure locks firmly into place for a stable and secure observing platform.

At the heart of the optical system is a precision paraboloidal primary mirror, designed to eliminate spherical aberration and produce sharp, wide-field views. From sweeping vistas of the Milky Way to iconic objects like the Great Orion Nebula, the 16″ DeepSky Truss Dobsonian reveals fine detail and impressive brightness that smaller apertures simply can’t match.

Despite its size, setup is refreshingly straightforward and requires no additional tools. The manual Dobsonian mount makes operation intuitive – just point the telescope toward your target and observe. Smooth motion is ensured by the bearing system on both altitude and azimuth axes.

The DeepSky Truss Dobsonian Telescope series is also available in a 12″ size, offering options for beginners through to experienced observers seeking maximum visual impact.
