Boasting nearly twice the light-gathering power of a 10" Newtonian, the Skyliner 300P is the only 3-point retractable Dobsonian in the market place with full Goto facilities and servo motor tracking. Deep Sky objects are better realised optically and contrast is significantly improved as well. Such a large instrument is normally difficult to store and transport - not so the 300P! It can be easily fitted in the boot or back seat of an ordinary-sized car and taken away from light-polluted areas.
