••Features••

Sporting an updated focusing system from the original series, the Meade Instruments LightBridge Plus 10" f/5 Truss-Tube Dobsonian AZ Telescope gives users outstanding deep-sky observing at a reasonable price. Its large primary parabolic mirror draws in copious amounts of light to reveal awe-inspiring details on the Moon and planets, and deep-sky objects like dim galaxies and wispy nebulae, which can be resolved even for inexperienced observers.

Its updated 10:1 dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser can handle heavy eyepieces and imaging systems without flexing, making this an ideal choice for viewing and imaging deep-sky objects. The fast focal ratio enables devices to capture images in less time than slower scopes with a significant reduction in the noise that can decrease resolution on imaging sensors. The focusing mechanism employed gives it the ability to achieve tack-sharp focusing with minimal backlash; and with its focus lock the focuser performs with the high precision required for viewing and imaging deep-space objects. This 2" focuser will accept larger eyepieces so users can enjoy a truly immersive visual experience and will ensure larger imaging sensors are completely covered.

The floor mount provides a rock-steady observational platform with very low vibration. This rocker mount features Teflon-coated roller azimuth bearings and large-diameter aluminum altitude bearings that allow the optical tube to move smoothly with limited vibrations. Finally, the tension control handle allows users to adjust the settings, allowing them to move the mount easily and smoothly by hand with minimal vibrations and maintaining its position when released.

••Optical Tube Assembly••

254mm / 10" aperture is ideal for lunar, planetary, and deep-sky viewing

Fast f/5 focal ratio ensures even dim deep-sky objects can be clearly resolved

1270mm focal length

Dobsonian-style reflector configuration is ideal for detailed lunar observation as well as deep-sky viewing

Rigid, open-truss design reduces overall weight versus solid-tube designs while being easier to transport and store
