Description
Featuring high-resolution 8192-step digital encoders and a carbon fiber hybrid base, the Taurus T500 Professional CF DSC 504/2150 Dobsonian Telescope computerized push-to system delivers 0.23 arcseconds Dawes resolving power. Handcrafted in Poland by Taurus Telescopes, this 20-inch f/4.27 instrument features a 504mm (19.84 in) aperture and a 2150mm focal length, reaching magnitude 16.2 for deep-sky hunting.
The Taurus T500 Professional CF DSC 504/2150 Dobsonian Telescope utilizes a precision-annealed Supremax 33 borosilicate primary mirror (Strehl >= 0.95) with 96% reflective enhanced aluminum coatings. Its modular carbon truss frame includes a carbon fiber secondary cage and a factory-installed Digital Setting Circle (DSC) system with wireless Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. Mounted on a CNC carbon hybrid base, the 29.20 kg (64.37 lbs) OTA provides seamless tablet-guided navigation via SkySafari.
Key Features of Taurus T500 Professional CF DSC 504/2150 Dobsonian Telescope
Built for high-precision push-to 20-inch deep-sky hunting and wireless app navigation, this Taurus T500 CF DSC Dobsonian pairs diffraction-limited Supremax 33 optics with digital setting circles. Its 8192-step encoders connect via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to smartphones for instant object acquisition.

Supremax 33 Optics & Wireless DSC Planetarium Navigation
The 504mm parabolic primary mirror collects immense light volume to reveal faint extragalactic clusters and delicate planetary details. Supported by wireless digital encoders that track telescope movement on mobile planetarium apps in real time, this 20-inch Taurus Dobsonian supports magnifications from 72.0x up to 1008x.
8192-Step Digital Encoders & Carbon Hybrid Base
Fast target identification eliminates time lost star hopping manually across faint cosmic fields. The Taurus T500 CF DSC incorporates precision 8192-step digital encoders into its altitude and azimuth bearings, linking wirelessly to planetarium apps via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Supported by a lightweight carbon hybrid base, it provides portable computerized push-to navigation.
- Factory-installed DSC system featuring 8192-step high-resolution optical axis encoders
- Wireless Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module providing push-to guidance via SkySafari software
- Lightweight carbon fiber and Baltic birch hybrid base with smooth PTFE altitude bearings
