Product Description
Aperture: 10-Inch. Focal Length: 1270mm. Focal Ratio: f/5. It’s not just a big telescope. It’s a big telescope that goes anywhere. New LightBridge truss-Dobs from Meade take down and set up quickly. So you can take one of these massive windows on the universe out to your favorite dark sky locations with ease. LightBridge Dobs give you high quality Meade optics, premium components, and ultra portability — all for about the same price as an ordinary tube Dob. So get a LightBridge truss-Dob. And prepare to cross the universe. FEATURES: Diffraction Limited Optics Meade optics consistently outperform telescopes of similar and larger aperture. Consumers know that “Meade Optics Inside” means that what they see through our telescopes will be views that are detailed, crisp and full of contrast. 2-Inch Crayford-Style Machined Aluminum Focuser With 1.25-Inch Adapter Smooth precise focusing is achieved with this classic design. A unique focus tension knob and focus lock design gives complete control over focus. Built-In Primary Mirror Cooling Fan Bring the telescope into thermal equilibrium quickly and efficiently with the battery powered cooling fan. The fan is mounted to the rear of the “vented” primary mirror cell for fast cool down.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Meade 10-Inch LightBridge (f/5) Truss-Tube Dobsonian (Electronics)
I ordered this scope over a month ago, at the time it was the last one in stock. When i received it it was supposed to arrive in 2 boxes, one containing the base and the other containing the mirror/truss assembly. Sadly Amazon only managed to ship me "Box 2 of 2" containing just the base. Since that time I've been trying to get through their customer service to get them to understand that there was supposed to be a second box. It ended in a compromise that there were "Parts missing" and i returned it with the promise of a new one being next day shipped to me. That was 3 weeks ago, and no word on where the new one is. I gave what I've been led to understand is a reasonable star rating for the scope, but since i have yet to actually SEE it, i cant say much for the quality beyond that the base is made from particle board. Which i suppose is to be expected, since what really matters is optics quality.
Long story short, beware of getting the last one in stock. As a side note, the box i did receive looked distinctly like it had been shipped to someone else before me, then returned, and shipped to me.
