300mm (12") f/1500 Parabolic Dobsonian Telescope

"The Sky-Watcher Skyliner range offers some of the best-equipped instruments of this type, Cools down surprisingly rapidly for such a large instrument, Jupiter displayed a wealth of detail despite its low altitude, The Moon surface was replete with sharply defined rille, craterlet and mountain detail, The Skyliner-300P really showed its mettle on the deep-sky. The Hercules globular cluster M13 was a magnificent sight. At 300x the scope clearly showed even diffraction rings around all four components of Epsilon Lyrae; This instrument offers a staggering specification for the money with an optical performance that would be the envy of many a manufacturer. With equipment like this available at such reasonable cost, observers truly have never had it so good.!"
