Due to its simple design this Sky-Watcher Dobsonian telescope offers exceptional value for money. The Dobsonian mount, popularized by John Dobson in the late 1970s and utilised in all Sky-Watcher Dobsonian telescopes, is a very simple but effective method of mounting a Newtonian Reflector, based on the alt-azimuth principle. Fast and easy to set up, the Sky-Watcher Dobsonian mount consists of a box-type mounting which allows the telescope to pivot in altitude, while the box itself is rotated on a base in azimuth. The secret of the design is to correctly balance the optical tube and to use frictional materials, which allow it to move easily when nudged but to stay in position when not. The mount is designed to be driven by hand as opposed to slow motion controls.

I was a bit concerned regarding shipping before I ordred this but it was packed very well, turned up perfect. This, like any other similar scope would need collimating. I have done this myself and if give yourself plenty of time anyone is capabe of doing this. There are plenty of guides on various forums & online to help you. If you are thinking of getting one of these, make sure you have space for storage when not in use, its a beast Review: Good scope, great price. Nice. - This telescope is astonishingly good value for money. It arrived earlier (woohooo!!) that advertised, and it just WORKS. Very decent optics, a fairly ok finderscope and a couple of (in my case) redundant eyepieces mean you are getting a good deal as well. Nice one. ## Features - Easy-to-use Dobsonian design, large aperture and focal length, versatile for visual observation and astrophotography, affordable price point ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00B0GWAL0 | | Best Sellers Rank | 35,864 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 120 in Telescopes | | Brand | Sky-Watcher | | Brand Name | Sky-Watcher | | Compatible Devices | Camera, Smartphone | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4 Reviews | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 5.3 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Barlow | | Eye piece lens description | Barlow | | Field Of View | 5.6 Degrees | | Finderscope | optical | | Focal Length Description | 1200 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Manufacturer | Sky-Watcher | | Manufacturer Part Number | 10668 | | Model Name | SKYLINER 250PX | | Model Number | 10668 | | Model name | SKYLINER 250PX | | Mount | Altazimuth Mount | | Objective Lens Diameter | 254 Millimetres | | Objective lens diameter | 254 Millimetres | | Optical tube length | 1200 Millimetres | | Optical-Tube Length | 1200 Millimetres | | Power Source | Manual Operation" or "NA | | Product Features | Easy-to-use Dobsonian design, large aperture and focal length, versatile for visual observation and astrophotography, affordable price point | | Telescope mount description | Altazimuth Mount | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Zoom Ratio | 2.5:1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sky-Watcher - **Compatible devices:** Camera, Smartphone - **Eye piece lens description:** Barlow - **Finderscope:** optical - **Focus type:** Manual Focus - **Model name:** SKYLINER 250PX - **Objective lens diameter:** 254 Millimetres - **Optical tube length:** 1200 Millimetres - **Power source:** Manual Operation" or "NA - **Telescope mount description:** Altazimuth Mount ## Images ![SKYLINER 250PX 254MM (10") F/1200 PARABOLIC DOBSONIAN TELESCOPE - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61X3OX6IjqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the Money *by B***B on 13 March 2015* Been using this now for a few months & very impressed, worth the money.
