The Sky-Watcher Dobsonian 12" Collapsible Telescope is an updated version of an old favorite. It features a new Crayford focuser and an elegant truss tube design that combines ease of use, portability, and consistent performance. Unlike other truss tube designs, this telescope does not need to be disassembled between uses and can be transported as two compact pieces. It is easy to collimate once set up, and it holds its collimation throughout the evening. The bearing system has been redesigned for improved performance.

Too early to use my new telescope, still building a platform. Jacobs Digital was very fast with dispatch, but sent the wrong telescope. Fortunately they gracefully rectified their mistake, also very quickly. The transformer they sent this week didn't have the NZ plug, as advertised. So all in all they provide very fast and helpful service, but accuracy could be improved.
