It's an ideal tool for observing faint objects like nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies.The Classic 250P Dobsonian isn't just about the optics. Its sturdy base features Teflon bearings for smooth azimuth slewing and a patented tension control handle for locking the telescope in place. This ensures stability even when using heavier 2-inch eyepieces or 1.25-inch accessories, making it a versatile tool compatible with virtually any eyepiece on the market.Included with the Classic Dobsonian are two 1.25-inch eyepieces, a 1.25-inch adapter, a 2-inch eyepiece adapter, dust caps, and a 9x50 finder scope. Staying true to John Dobson's original design, Sky-Watcher combines two mirrors, a metal tube, and a simple rocker box to create a user-friendly, stylish, and durable telescope.
