Orion SkyQuest XX12 IntelliScope Truss Tube Dobsonian.

What features make the Orion XX12 the best portable Dobsonian available?

The Orion XX12 is truly a one-of-a kind telescope. We’ve designed the XX12 to be the best
Dob’ available by combining state-of-the-art materials and innovative features:

The XX12 utilizes true 8-pole trusses which provide a rigid tube that will not flex like other
designs in this category.
The 8-pole trusses consist of 4 groups of two-pole truss assemblies which are rotatable upon
disassembly for convenient, space-saving transport.
All truss assembly knobs are captive for no-tools required no-hassle tube assembly and
disassembly.

The XX12 includes the Orion IntelliScope computerized object locator, which provides easy
location of over 14,000 celestial objects. With Intelliscope technology included the XX12 truly
has brains to match its 12” (305mm) optical brawn!

The XX12 base is equipped with nothing but the best material to provide amazingly smooth
altitude and azimuth motion:
Enormous 8” altitude bearings (plastic on UHMW surfaces) equipped with Orion’s adjustable
CorrecTension technology ensure smooth altitude motion.
Ultra-smooth azimuth base motion optimized by using EbonyStar laminate and true Virgin
Teflon bearing surfaces.
Side-braces add stability to the stylish lightweight base.

The XX12 features a 2” dual-speed (11:1) Crayford focuser, allowing for detailed study of even
the most elusive celestial targets.

Robust 9x50 finder scope
