The Explore Scientific 12-inch Truss Tube Dobsonian Telescope (Gen II) is a powerful and portable large-aperture telescope designed for serious amateur astronomers in India. With a massive 305mm parabolic primary mirror, it gathers ample light to reveal stunning details in deep sky objects like galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters, while also offering crisp views of the Moon and planets.
 
This Gen II model features a fully rust-proof aluminum construction, ideal for India’s varied climates. The collapsible truss tube design makes it surprisingly portable for a 12-inch telescope—easy to transport to dark-sky locations or stargazing trips. The smooth Teflon altitude and azimuth bearings provide precise movement, while large altitude wheels improve balance and control. A robust 2" dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser ensures accurate focusing, even with heavy eyepieces or high magnification.
 
The scope also includes a built-in mirror cooling fan to reduce thermal interference during long sessions. Whether you’re observing from your home terrace or taking it to Ladakh or the Rann of Kutch, this Dobsonian delivers professional-grade performance for visual astronomy.
