Meade LightBridge 12" Truss Dobsonian

A 12-inch (305mm) truss Dobsonian that disassembles into genuinely portable sections. At 305mm aperture, this is a serious deep-sky light bucket — faint galaxy structure, globular cluster resolution from heart to halo, and planetary nebulae as detailed structured objects. The truss design allows upper cage and mirror cell to be separated, making transport realistic without a van. Some assembly required at the observing site but experienced owners manage it in under 10 minutes. CN owners note the altitude tension adjustment is important to set correctly to avoid the tube drifting during observation.
