It's a deep-sky observer's dream scope, offering jumbo 12" optics (f/4.9), IntelliScope object location technology; and a sturdy truss tube design that disassembles in about a minute into compact, easily portable components. We've outfitted the XX12i base with nothing but the best materials: EbonyStar laminate and non-stick coating (PTFE) azimuth bearing surfaces provide silky smooth azimuth motion. Equipped with dual-speed (11:1) 2" Crayford focuser, large 8" altitude bearings, a full set of great accessories, and a computerized database of 14,000 celestial objects -- the XX12i is one killer telescope deal. One-year limited warranty. WARNING! When using a truss tube Dobsonian for solar observing, always use a Light Shroud and a properly sized solar filter. Make sure there are no gaps between the Shroud and the telescope where direct sunlight can reach the mirror, otherwise eye injury or damage to the telescope can occur. Before using any telescope for solar observing, install protective covers on all optical components. Glancing through an uncovered optical system can cause permanent eye damage. Always install protective caps on all optical instruments if left out during daylight hours.
