The SAXON Dobsonian 12" Reflector Telescope is a powerful telescope which allows you to see further into the nightsky without bursting your budget. They are one of the Best First Time User's Telescope as they give the most value. This is due to its unique design, whereby the majority of the product cost goes into its high-quality lens.

PYREX GLASS ON THE 12"
The Saxon 12” Dobsonian features a primary mirror made of Pyrex glass. Because of its very low coefficient of thermal expansion, Pyrex glass is less affected by changing temperatures. This greatly reduces the cooling time of a telescope larger than 10” in diameter without using an extra fan. The great stability of this low expansion glass ensures high quality images. It is also substantially more resistant to scratching then plate glass.

How long will it take for my order to arrive? The Total Delivery Time for your order is calculated from the moment your order is placed until the time you receive it. The diagram below shows how your Total Delivery Time is broken down into two parts, pre-ship processing time and shipping time:

Pre-Ship Processing Time is measured from when you submit your order to when it leaves our warehouse. This time is needed for products that are shipped directly from the manufacturers to our distribution facilities. Manufacturers need this time to fulfil your order and in some cases, custom build the product.
