Description
Navigate faint nebulae and sweep the night sky with mobile planetarium app guidance using the Taurus T300 Standard DSC 302/1500 Dobsonian Telescope push-to modular truss reflector. Handcrafted in Poland by Taurus Telescopes, this f/4.96 telescope features a 302mm (11.89 in) aperture and a 1500mm focal length, delivering 0.38 arcseconds Dawes resolving power and reaching magnitude 15.1.
The Taurus T300 Standard DSC 302/1500 Dobsonian Telescope incorporates a diffraction-limited borosilicate primary mirror (Strehl >= 0.85) coated with 93% reflective aluminum and silicon dioxide. Its modular truss framework connects eight tubes to a CNC-machined wooden base equipped with a factory-installed Digital Setting Circle (DSC) system, 8192-step encoders, and wireless Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity. Weighing 11.40 kg (25.13 lbs) for the OTA, it provides fast, computerized target location.
Key Features of Taurus T300 Standard DSC 302/1500 Dobsonian Telescope
Built for digital setting circle guided deep-sky observation and mobile planetarium sky sweeping, this 12-inch Taurus T300 Standard Dobsonian pairs a modular truss frame with integrated optical encoders. Its wireless push-to functionality simplifies locating faint NGC nebulae and distant galaxy clusters.
- 302mm (11.89 in) clear aperture with 1500mm focal length and fast f/4.96 optical speed
- Precision borosilicate optical glass primary mirror with Strehl ratio >= 0.85
- Standard aluminum optical coatings with 93% reflectivity and protective SiO2 overcoat
- Small 21.5% secondary obstruction by diameter (65mm minor axis, 4.6% by area)
- Integrated Digital Setting Circle (DSC) system with 8192-step encoders on both axes
- Wireless Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication module compatible with planetarium software
- 2-inch dual-speed Crayford focuser 1:10 with step-down 1.25-inch adapter
- Modular truss-tube framework with 8 truss tubes, wooden base, and truss bag included
Parabolic Borosilicate Optics & Wireless Push-To Alignment
The 302mm primary mirror collects ample light for resolving globular clusters and faint emission nebulae. Supported by wireless optical encoders that track telescope movement on mobile planetarium apps in real time, this Taurus Dobsonian supports visual magnifications from 43.1x up to 604x.
8192-Step Digital Encoders & Modular Truss Base
Locating faint deep-sky targets is intuitive with digital setting circles. The Taurus T300 Standard DSC features 8192-step encoders integrated into its altitude and azimuth bearings, linking wirelessly to smartphones and tablets via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Supported by an ultra-light CNC wooden base, it provides portable computerized push-to navigation in the field.
- Integrated Digital Setting Circle system with 8192-step high-resolution encoders
- Wireless Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for push-to guidance via SkySafari
- Large-diameter side altitude bearings ensuring balanced manual movement without drift
