Meade Lightbridge Dobsonian Telescopes

Meade's Lightbridge is an extremely practical telescope combining the simplicity of the Dobsonian concept with a truss tube designed to be easy to take down and reassemble, facilitating storage and transport.

This makes it possible to live with and enjoy a larger aperture than might otherwise be practical. Choose from 10-inch, 12-inch and 16-inch models and open up a whole new experience.
