Explore Scientific 16-inch Truss Tube Dobsonian Telescope (Gen II)
The Explore Scientific 16-Inch Truss Tube Dobsonian Telescope is the ultimate deep-sky visual instrument for passionate astronomers in India. With a massive 406mm (16") parabolic primary mirror, this scope gathers over 3300 times more light than the naked eye, making galaxies, nebulae, globular clusters, and planetary details come alive with remarkable brightness and resolution—even under Indian skies.
Crafted entirely from lightweight aluminum, this next-generation Dobsonian is designed for stability, durability, and portability. The truss tube structure breaks down into two compact aluminum cases and trusses, making it surprisingly transportable for a telescope of its size. Despite its large aperture, the entire system fits in most small cars and assembles in minutes without tools.
Upgraded with Teflon and GFK slider bearings, laser-engraved mirror markings, dual radial fans for faster cooling, and an advanced floatation mirror cell, this telescope offers buttery-smooth motion, accurate collimation, and thermal stability for long observing sessions. The telescope also includes 2x 1 kg counterweights, an LED red-dot finder, stray light shield, and all essential accessories to get started.
Ideal for serious stargazers, astronomy clubs, and outreach programs, the Explore Scientific 16” Dobsonian is one of the best large-aperture telescopes available in India—offering professional-grade performance at a value price. Buy it today!
