Ultra Portability
The UP12g can be fully compacted into airline-approved luggage. It's your ultimate large aperture GoTo
travel telescope, weighing just 45 lbs fully assembled.
Advanced Thin Solid Mirror
Our thin solid mirror reaches thermal equilibrium much faster than a traditional thick solid mirror,
delivering great views even as temperatures change. No fan needed — eliminating micro-vibration that
degrades image quality.
Enhanced Optical Coatings
96% enhanced reflective coatings on both primary and secondary mirrors with precision-controlled
dielectric layers. Maximum light throughput for bright, contrast-rich images on deep-sky targets.
Engineered Mirror Support
Optimized 6-point flotation system with completely independent sling lateral support and collimation
(with two convenient front-access collimation screws). Eliminates the potato-chip astigmatism found in
simpler designs.
All Aluminum Construction
CNC-machined 6063-T6 aluminum alloy double-section truss tubes, solid CNC aluminum cell and structure.
Finished with environmentally friendly black powder coating. Designed for maximum rigidity at minimum
weight.
WiFi + Bluetooth Connectivity
WiFi 802.11n with built-in website accessible from any browser. Bluetooth 4.2 classic support. Direct
wireless support for Sky Safari and Stellarium.
App & Hand Controller
iOS and Android apps for initialization, alignment, and GoTo control. Smart Hand Controller with ~30,000
objects database. Full scope control with slewing and GoTo movement.
Advanced Tracking & Alignment
INDI drivers (CdC, KStars, Ekos), ASCOM support (IP and Serial via LX200 protocol). Telescope encoders for
extra pointing accuracy. Real Time Clock, 1-9 star alignment, Park/Unpark function, Sidereal/Lunar/Solar
tracking, and spiral search.
The UP12g compacts fully into airline-approved luggage. Automated GoTo tracking with WiFi and Bluetooth
means you can explore 30,000+ objects from the darkest skies on Earth.
44% More Light Than a 10"
A full 12-inch diameter optical surface (12.4" overall) — not a beveled 12" blank like competitors. That
means about 5% more light-gathering power than any other 12" scope on the market.
Less Than 1/3 the Weight
At 45 lbs fully assembled, the UP12g weighs less than a third of traditional GoTo Dobsonians. The perfect
balance between large aperture, automated tracking, and unbeatable portability.
With the UP12g, discerning most NGC objects from a dark sky site becomes feasible. Unveil subtle hints of color
in bright emission nebulae like the Orion Nebula, vivid details in brighter planetary nebulae, and incredible
detail on Jupiter. The UP12g stands as a telescope offering a lifetime of rewarding observational experiences.
