Zhumell 12-Inch Dobsonian Reflector Telescope

Anyone who has spent much time in the field looking at stars with amateur astronomers is sure to have heard the term "light bucket." Effective yet inexpensive, "light buckets" provide amateur astronomers with the aperture needed to view faint deep sky object. With the quality and precision designed into the Zhumell 12-inch Dobsonian, you can have a really nice bucket for gathering all of that starlight.

With a traditional Dobsonian mount, the Dobson 12-inch is easy to use. A two-inch dual speed crayford focuser accepts a full range of 1.25-inch and two-inch format eyepieces. The 12-inch aluminum oxide/silver oxide-coated mirror provides excellent contrast and definition and offers 1/12-wave wavefront accuracy, along with 92-94% reflectivity. mirror provides excellent contrast and definition.

Mirror Coatings - Aluminum plus Sio2 (Silicon Dioxide)

Combine these features with quick collimation screws (for easy alignment of your mirror), a powerful cooling fan, a black optical tube (which will acclimate to environmental temperature more quickly than other colors), and an included laser collimator (to make alignment of your mirrors even easier) and you will see that the Zhumell Dobson telescopes are more like five-gallon pails filled with spectacular views than your standard, everyday light bucket.
