Taurus T350 Standard DSC 353/1700 Dobsonian Telescope

Description

Explore faint deep-sky targets and navigate celestial coordinates using wireless planetarium apps with the Taurus T350 Standard DSC 353/1700 Dobsonian Telescope push-to modular reflector system. Handcrafted in Poland by Taurus Telescopes, this f/4.81 telescope features a 353mm (13.90 in) aperture and a 1700mm focal length, delivering 0.33 arcseconds Dawes resolving power and reaching magnitude 15.5.

The Taurus T350 Standard DSC 353/1700 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 15.60 kg (34.39 lbs) for the OTA, it provides fast, computerized target location.

Key Features of Taurus T350 Standard DSC 353/1700 Dobsonian Telescope

Built for digital setting circle guided deep-sky hunting and mobile planetarium sky sweeping, this 14-inch Taurus T350 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.

Parabolic Borosilicate Optics & Wireless Push-To Alignment

The 353mm primary mirror collects massive light volume 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 50.4x up to 706x.

8192-Step Digital Encoders & Modular Truss Base

Locating faint deep-sky targets is intuitive with digital setting circles. The Taurus T350 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
