Teleport 14.5"
This is now my quick look telescope! The big 14.5" Teleport opens and folds up so quickly that I grab it for quick looks instead of my Tele Vue 101. I bought it along with one of Tom Osypowski's Equatorial Platforms. The views are stunning, crisp, with high contrast, and rock solid on the Platform. Tom Noe's Teleport workmanship and design are something to behold. This Dobsonian is easy to use. Ultrasmooth motion in alt-az. Great Zambuto mirror. But what really sets this telescope apart is the fast, simple one-piece setup and breakdown.

Zambuto mirror gives almost refractor-like diffraction rings. Planet views are superb when seeing allows. The Dob movements are butter smooth.
