Based on your feedback
With its Z12 Dobsonian telescope, Zhumell took a completely new approach to the telescope design process, starting with you! It’s no wonder this telescope has been a smash success among amateur astronomers; the Z Series is based on customer feedback to be the best telescope value on the market. From suggestions about materials and construction to your wish list of must-have accessories, it’s all been included in this family of high-quality and affordable Dobsonian telescopes.
Optical quality you can see
The Zhumell Z12 Dobsonian telescope features a massive 12” parabolic primary mirror that captures a substantial amount of light and produces crisp, bright images free of visual defects like spherical aberration. You’ll also get two fully multi-coated eyepieces: a 2” 30mm eyepiece for wide field views and a 1.25” 9mm eyepiece for higher magnification. With the Z Series, Zhumell has put your money where it belongs: into the telescope’s optical system.
Great mechanical performance and sturdy construction
Beyond the optics, the rest of the Z12’s design is simple and streamlined. A durable, sturdy construction means your Zhumell will stand up to years of use at public star parties, camping trips, and more.
Using this Dobsonian couldn’t be easier. A primary mirror cooling fan brings the telescope into thermal equilibrium quickly so you can enjoy long viewing sessions without delay. Once you’re set up, push the scope on its ball bearings toward your desired object. When you’ve centered your target in the 8×50 finderscope and your eyepiece of choice, bring it into razor-sharp focus with the dual-speed Crayford focuser. Then, lock your view in place with improved manual clutches. As your object begins to drift across the sky, the new adjustable azimuth bearing system facilitates smooth, even motion for tracking objects.
Unmatched value with lots of extras
The Z Series is affordable, but that doesn’t mean it’s stripped-down. This telescope includes well over $100 in bonus accessories! It’s everything you need to have a great first night out and enjoy stargazing for years to come:
- 2” 30mm fully multi-coated eyepiece
- 25” 9mm fully multi-coated eyepiece
- 8×50 right angle finderscope
- 25” Moon filter
- A laser collimator to keep your optics in perfect alignment
