The Sky-Watcher Flextube 300P is a 12-inch aperture Dobsonian reflector that collects 1840 times more light than the human eye, making it ideal for visual observation of faint deep-sky objects including nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. Its patented collapsible tube design offers exceptional portability and performance, transporting as just two compact pieces that can be assembled and ready to use in seconds. The large parabolic Borosilicate primary mirror is treated with an aluminum coating achieving over 94% reflectivity, with a secondary mirror obstruction of just 5% by area. The rocker base features Teflon bearings for smooth azimuth slewing and a patented tension control handle for precise positioning.
