<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCompact and smooth to use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Despite its size, the Stargate is surprisingly portable. The sturdy but dismountable metal structure lets you transport it easily. Within twenty minutes, the telescope is ready under a dark sky. The curved axes and smooth Dobson mount make tracking objects easy. The huge mirror moves quietly and stably, without wobbling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The parabolic main mirror delivers pinpoint stars and high contrast for deep-sky observation. The aluminized coating with multiple SiO\u2082 layers provides long-term clarity and protection against wear. This keeps your image clear and sharp, year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the SynScan GoTo handset, you quickly select from 42,900 objects. The telescope automatically pinpoints the object. The Dual-Encoder Freedom-Find system lets you move the telescope manually without the computer control losing alignment. This allows you to cover large distances in space with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2713 Moon: sharp craters and mountains Sky-Watcher StarGate-500P comes with truss-Newton optics, SynScan GoTo-Dobson rocker box, 28mm 2\u2033 and 10mm 1.25\u2033 eyepiece, 9\u00d750 viewfinder, 2\u2033 Crayford focuser with fine adjustment, scatter light guard, collimation eyepiece, cigarette lighter socket and the 80-page beginner's manual Telescope ABC - ultimate deep-sky giant telescope for advanced visual observers.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":97919,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[542],"product_cat":[51,2972],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-90346","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-sky-watcher","product_cat-telescopen","product_cat-newton-reflectors","product_shipping_class-licht","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/90346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90346"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=90346"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=90346"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=90346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Skywatcher](\"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-N-508-2000-Stargate-500P-Dobson-Telescoop-Synscan-GoTo-DOB-1.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
