Discover the cosmos with the Airline-Portable Telescope (12"/12.5", f/4 or f/4.5) — a high-performance, portable telescope designed for serious stargazers who refuse to compromise between aperture and mobility.
 
Built for travel, this f/4 and f/4.5 Newtonian design combines a wide field of view with serious light-gathering power, perfect for deep-sky observations of galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters — even under dark remote skies. The precision-machined truss structure breaks down effortlessly into compact, luggage-friendly sections for easy transport and quick assembly.

The Ultra Compact Travel Dobsonian Telescope features Premium Optics. Precision Components. Built for the advanced visual observer. The AstroLabs-USA  True Travel Truss Dobsonian blends adventure driven design, premium American optical craftsmanship, and performance grade engineering into a single, compact travel ready instrument. This is a telescope built for observers who refuse to leave aperture at home — a telescope that brings the universe within reach no matter where your journey leads.


A Telescope Designed for Those Who Chase the Night Whether you fly to remote desert skies, road trip into the mountains, or spend weekends under the Milky Way, this telescope is built for movement. It breaks down fast, packs small,and sets up with repeatable precision. Yet, once assembled, it performs like a serious deep sky instrument — revealing galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and planetary detail with an authority only a true 12.5" mirror can deliver.Premium American Optics & Components are in the heart of this instrument is its primary mirror — available from renowned American optical makers including Zambuto Optical Company and Ostahowski Optics — paired with a high performance secondary from Antares or Ostahowski. With enhanced aluminum + SiO coatings and exceptional wavefront accuracy, these optics deliver crisp contrast, dark backgrounds, and pinpoint stars across the field.Critical components such as the precision KineOptics HC-2A focuser and Rigel Tetrad finder are sourced from the U.S. manufacturers, ensuring smooth operation, reliability, and a refined observing experience.
