LightBridge Truss Tube Dobsonian

It’s not just a big telescope. It’s a big telescope that goes anywhere. New LightBridge truss-Dobs from Meade take down and set up quickly. So you can take one of these massive windows on the universe out to your favorite dark sky locations with ease. LightBridge Dobs give you high quality Meade optics, premium components, and ultra portability — all for about the same price as an ordinary tube Dob. So get a LightBridge truss-Dob. And prepare to cross the universe.

FEATURES

Diffraction Limited Optics

Meade optics consistently outperform telescopes of similar

and larger aperture. Consumers know that “Meade Optics

Inside” means that what they see through our telescopes will

be views that are detailed, crisp and full of contrast.

2" Crayford-Style Machined Aluminum Focuser With 1.25" Adapter

Smooth precise focusing is achieved with this classic design.

A unique focus tension knob and focus lock design gives

complete control over focus.

Built-In Primary Mirror Cooling Fan

Bring the telescope into thermal equilibrium quickly and

efficiently with the battery powered cooling fan. The fan is

mounted to the rear of the “vented” primary mirror cell for

fast cool down.
