Meade LightBridge 10"

The Meade LightBridge 10 is a 254mm open-truss Dobsonian — a different design philosophy to the solid-tube Sky-Watcher Skyliners. The open truss structure reduces weight, allows faster thermal equilibration (important for optical quality on cold nights), and makes the scope partially disassemblable for transport. At 254mm and f/4.7 it is a serious deep-sky visual instrument. The LightBridge range has earned a strong reputation among Dobsonian enthusiasts for its transport practicality versus solid-tube alternatives.
