Hubble UL12 – 12" Lightweight Reflector Telescope
Hubble UP12 – An Ultra-Portable 12" Dobsonian Telescope
The Hubble UP12 is a premium 12-inch Dobsonian designed for observers who want serious optical performance in an exceptionally compact and travel-friendly form. Weighing just 14.5 kg) fully assembled, the UP12 delivers true large-aperture performance in a package that can be transported, stored, and deployed with ease.
Once disassembled, the UP12 can be packed into airline-approved luggage, making it one of the most portable 12-inch telescopes available. This is a genuine “take anywhere” instrument for dark-sky trips, remote expeditions, and observers who value performance without bulk.
Light, Compact and Truly Portable
The UP12 is less than half the weight of a traditional 12-inch Dobsonian. Its modular construction allows the entire system to be assembled in just a few minutes, with no heavy components and no complex setup.
All major structural elements are made from precision-machined aluminium alloy, providing excellent rigidity while keeping weight to an absolute minimum. The result is a telescope that feels effortless to transport, yet remains mechanically stable at high magnifications.
Optical Performance
The UP12 uses a premium parabolic primary mirror, individually tested and finished to achieve diffraction-limited performance (Strehl 0.95+). The secondary mirror is specified to 1/10 wave or better, delivering high contrast and sharp stellar images across the field.
Both mirrors receive 96% enhanced reflective coatings, maximising light throughput and reducing scatter. From a dark sky site, the UP12 is capable of revealing most NGC objects, subtle structure in bright nebulae, fine planetary detail on Jupiter and Saturn, and even challenging targets such as the Horsehead Nebula when used with appropriate filters.
A Perfect Balance of Power and Portability
The UP12 gathers around 44% more light than a 10-inch telescope, yet remains dramatically smaller and lighter than traditional 12-inch designs. Its full 12-inch optical surface (with a generous 12.4-inch overall diameter) provides slightly more true light-gathering area than many mass-produced 12-inch mirrors.
This balance makes the UP12 a telescope that actually gets used. It is large enough to deliver meaningful deep-sky performance, yet portable enough to be taken out frequently without hesitation.

Hubble UL32 – 32" Lightweight Reflector Telescope
The Hubble UL32sg is a flagship 32-inch Dobsonian telescope designed for serious deep-sky observers, research-grade visual work, and advanced EAA applications. With a massive 32-inch primary mirror, the UL32sg delivers 16 times the light grasp of an 8-inch telescope and four times that of a 16-inch, revealing galaxies, nebulae, and fine structure at a level few instruments on Earth can match.
Despite its extraordinary aperture, the UL32sg is engineered to remain as compact and transportable as possible for its class. Fully assembled, the telescope weighs around 150 kg and features a modular, all-metal construction with sectional truss tubes and a folding altitude bearing structure. A real mirror box provides safe protection for the primary mirror during transport and storage.
Light, Strong, Compact and Still Portable
The UL32sg is built using precision-machined aluminium alloy components, extensively modelled with CAD and FEA to optimise structural rigidity while minimising weight. Eight rigid sectional truss tubes ensure excellent stiffness and collimation stability, even at extreme elevations.
While the UL32sg is not a casual backyard instrument, it remains one of the most compact and practical 32-inch class telescopes available, capable of being transported and assembled by a small team for dark-sky expeditions, observatories, and research installations.
Revolutionary Smart Go-To System
The UL32sg is supplied exclusively in a Smart Go-To configuration, built around the state-of-the-art OnStep control system. This advanced platform combines fully motorised Go-To, high-resolution encoders, and a revolutionary plate-solving smart finder for unmatched pointing accuracy.
Using the system is simple: select a target via the smart hand controller or third-party software such as SkySafari or Stellarium, then with a single button press the telescope captures an image, plate-solves its position, and automatically refines its pointing until the target is perfectly centred.
The system supports automated star alignment, automated “Star Shows” such as Messier Marathons, intelligent routing to reduce slewing time by 30–50%, and full EAA live stacking for electronically assisted observing.
Connectivity includes built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, INDI and ASCOM drivers, real-time clock, spiral search, park/unpark, and full sidereal, lunar, and solar tracking rates. Control is available via smart hand controller, desktop software, or mobile apps on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Exclusive Sandwich Mirror Technology
The UL32sg uses a lightweight sandwich primary mirror designed to reach thermal equilibrium far faster than traditional solid mirrors. Rapid cooling dramatically reduces mirror seeing and internal turbulence, allowing the telescope to achieve its full optical potential much sooner in real-world conditions.
Unlike thick solid mirrors that may never stabilise during changing temperatures, the sandwich design delivers sharp, stable images without the need for active cooling systems, avoiding vibration and mechanical complexity.
Enhanced Optical Coatings
Both primary and secondary mirrors receive 96% enhanced dielectric coatings with multiple precision-controlled layers. These coatings maximise reflectivity, reduce scatter, and provide excellent chemical and mechanical durability, delivering bright, high-contrast images even at extreme magnifications.
Real Mirror Cell in a Real Mirror Box
The UL32sg features a fully engineered 27-point flotation mirror cell with sling and 90-degree pivoting lateral supports. This system prevents mirror deformation and eliminates astigmatism commonly caused by simpler collimation designs.
The independent three-point rod-end collimation system allows precise adjustment without stressing the mirror edge, maintaining optical integrity under all observing orientations.
Dual-Speed 2" Linear Bearing Crayford Focuser
The UL32sg is fitted with a precision 2-inch dual-speed linear bearing Crayford focuser, capable of handling heavy modern eyepieces and imaging equipment. The fine focus control provides ten times finer adjustment for critical focusing at high power or during EAA use, with approximately 50 mm of travel.

Hubble UL24 – A Lightweight 24" Dobsonian Telescope
The Hubble UL24 is a made-to-order 24-inch Dobsonian telescope, designed for experienced observers who want truly extreme aperture without sacrificing transportability.
With a huge 24-inch primary mirror, the UL24 delivers around nine times the light grasp of an 8-inch telescope and four times that of a 12-inch, revealing ultra-faint galaxies, subtle nebular structure, and fine detail in planetary nebulae that smaller instruments simply cannot reach.
Light, Strong, and Surprisingly Portable
The UL24 features a precision-machined all-metal construction with eight rigid aluminium truss tubes and an extremely strong folding altitude bearing structure. Despite its massive aperture, the complete telescope weighs only around 70 kg, making it dramatically lighter than traditional 24-inch Dobsonians.
A real mirror box protects the primary mirror during transport, while the modular design allows the telescope to be broken down into manageable components for storage and travel. The heaviest single component is the primary mirror at around 30 kg, allowing one person to realistically transport the system to dark-sky locations.
Optical Performance
At the heart of the UL24 is a premium parabolic primary mirror with a full 24-inch optical surface and an overall diameter of 24.4 inches. This provides around 4% more true optical area than many other 24-inch designs that use undersized optical surfaces.
Each mirror is individually tested and finished to achieve diffraction-limited performance, with a Strehl ratio of 0.95+ for the primary and 1/10 wave or better for the secondary. Both mirrors receive 96% enhanced reflective coatings, maximising light throughput and contrast while reducing scatter.
The fast f/3.3 focal ratio keeps the eyepiece height to just 1955 mm at zenith, allowing most observers to use the telescope without a ladder while still enjoying extreme aperture.
Choose Your Telescope Control
The UL24 can be customised to suit your observing style. You can use it fully manually, or opt for Guided Push-To or Automatic Go-To systems.
Manual Mode
Even without electronics, the UL24 remains a highly refined Dobsonian with smooth, stable motion and precise balance. Manual observing delivers the classic deep-sky experience at a scale few observers ever reach.
Guided Push-To Version
The Guided Push-To version uses the SkyHub2 digital setting circle system, providing accurate real-time positioning without motorised tracking. High-resolution encoders on both axes feed live position data into compatible planetarium software.
Alignment is quick and intuitive using one- or two-star alignment. The system works with SkySafari, Stellarium, Cartes du Ciel, TheSky, and other ASCOM-compatible software on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices.
Power consumption is extremely low, allowing up to 100 hours of operation from a standard USB power bank. Both WiFi and Bluetooth are supported.
Automatic Go-To Version
The Go-To version adds fully motorised pointing and tracking for hands-free observing. A smart hand controller with a 30,000-object database supports multi-star alignment for highly accurate pointing.
Built-in encoders and a real-time clock maintain accurate sidereal, lunar, and solar tracking. The system can be controlled via WiFi or Bluetooth using SkySafari, Stellarium, or ASCOM/INDI-compatible software on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android.
Adjustable slew and guide speeds, spiral search, and park/unpark functionality ensure smooth, precise operation during long observing sessions.

Hubble UL20 – A Lightweight 20" Dobsonian Telescope
The Hubble UL20 is a made-to-order 20-inch Dobsonian telescope designed for observers who want truly extreme aperture without the bulk and weight of traditional large Dobsonians.
With its enormous 20-inch primary mirror, the UL20 gathers over six times more light than an 8-inch telescope, and almost three times the light grasp of a 12-inch, revealing galaxies, nebulae, and fine structure at a level normally reserved for permanent observatory installations.
A Premium, Light, Compact and Portable Design
Despite its size, the UL20 is engineered to remain practical and transportable. The precision-machined all-metal truss construction delivers exceptional rigidity while keeping overall weight to around half that of traditional 20-inch Dobsonians.
The modular truss design allows the telescope to be broken down for transport, while the reinforced mirror box protects the primary mirror during storage and travel. This makes the UL20 a genuine “portable observatory” for dedicated deep-sky observers.
Optical Performance
At the heart of the UL20 is a premium parabolic primary mirror, individually tested and finished to achieve diffraction-limited performance (Strehl 0.95+). The secondary mirror is specified to 1/10 wave or better, ensuring excellent contrast and pinpoint stellar images across the field.
Both mirrors receive 96% enhanced reflective coatings, maximising light throughput while reducing scatter. This results in breathtaking deep-sky views, extremely faint object detection, and exceptional planetary performance even at very high magnifications.
Choose Your Telescope Control
The UL20 can be customised to suit your observing style. You can use it fully manually, or opt for Guided Push-To or Automatic Go-To systems.
Manual Mode
Even without electronics, the UL20 remains a precision Dobsonian with smooth, stable bearings and a well-balanced truss structure. This allows for classic hands-on observing with direct control and intuitive sky navigation.
Guided Push-To Version
The UL20 Guided Push-To version features the SkyHub2 digital setting circle system, providing accurate real-time telescope positioning without motorised tracking. High-resolution 8192 PPR encoders on both axes continuously update your telescope’s position in compatible planetarium software.

Why choose f/4.2?
-
Sharper images with almost 50% less coma than f/3.7
-
Smaller central obstruction (3.5" secondary vs 4.0" on f/3.7)
-
Easier to achieve perfect collimation
-
Better suited for high-magnification lunar and planetary observing
-
A coma corrector is helpful but not essential for many users
Why choose f/3.3 or f/3.7?
-
No ladder required at all for f/3.3; only a small step may be needed for f/4.2 near zenith
-
Extremely wide true field of view, especially with f/3.3
-

Hubble UL16 – 16" Lightweight Reflector Telescope
The Hubble UL16 is a made-to-order 16-inch Dobsonian telescope built for serious visual observers who want maximum aperture without sacrificing portability. Combining advanced mirror technology with precision engineering, the UL16 delivers exceptional deep-sky and planetary performance in a surprisingly manageable package.
Optical Performance
At the heart of the UL16 is a full 16-inch parabolic primary mirror featuring Hubble’s exclusive Sandwich Mirror Technology. This lightweight yet rigid design achieves diffraction-limited performance (Strehl 0.95+) while reaching thermal equilibrium up to ten times faster than traditional solid mirrors. Faster cooldown means reduced mirror seeing and sharper, steadier views sooner after setup.
Both primary and secondary mirrors feature 96% enhanced reflective coatings, maximising light throughput and contrast while minimising scatter. The result is brighter galaxies, improved nebular detail, and high-contrast planetary views even at high magnification.
Engineered for Precision
A carefully designed flotation mirror support system combined with independent collimation ensures the primary mirror is evenly supported, minimising astigmatism and maintaining optical accuracy across the sky. The UL16’s robust construction uses CNC-machined aluminium structural components and a steel mirror cell, providing excellent rigidity without unnecessary mass.
Smooth, Accurate Focusing
The UL16 is equipped with a 2-inch dual-speed Crayford focuser featuring linear bearings for smooth, backlash-free operation. Fine focus control allows precise adjustment at high magnifications and works seamlessly with heavy eyepieces or imaging accessories.
Big Aperture, Thoughtful Portability
Despite its impressive aperture, the UL16 is designed with transport in mind. The truss-tube construction breaks down easily for travel, while the fast focal ratios keep eyepiece height within a comfortable range. Whether observing from your backyard or transporting to dark skies, the UL16 balances power with practicality.
Unmatched Observing Potential
With significantly more light-gathering power than a 14-inch telescope, the UL16 reveals faint galaxies, subtle nebular structure, and fine planetary detail that smaller instruments simply cannot match. From resolving globular clusters to tracking delicate dust lanes in distant galaxies, the UL16 is built for observers who want to go deeper.
Push-To and Go-To Options
Guided Push-To Version
The UL16 Guided Push-To version features the SkyHub2 digital setting circle system, providing accurate real-time positioning without motorised tracking. High-resolution (8192 PPR) encoders on both axes continuously update your telescope’s position in compatible planetarium software.
Alignment is quick and intuitive using a one-star or optional two-star alignment. The system works with SkySafari, Stellarium, Cartes du Ciel, TheSky, and other ASCOM-compatible software on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices. Power consumption is extremely low, allowing up to 100 hours of operation from a 15,000 mAh USB power bank. WiFi and Bluetooth are supported (WiFi only for iOS).
Automatic Go-To Version
The UL16 Go-To version adds fully motorised pointing and tracking with a smart hand controller featuring a 30,000-object database. Multi-star alignment (1–9 stars) ensures precise pointing accuracy, while built-in encoders and a real-time clock maintain accurate sidereal, lunar, and solar tracking rates.
Control the system via WiFi or Bluetooth using SkySafari, Stellarium, or ASCOM/INDI-compatible software on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android. Adjustable slew and guide speeds, spiral search, and park/unpark functionality provide smooth, precise operation for extended observing sessions.
Choosing Your Focal Ratio: f/5 or f/4.5
The UL16 is available in f/5.0 or f/4.5, allowing you to tailor the telescope to your observing style.
Why choose f/5?
-
Approximately 30% less coma than the f/4.5 version
-
No coma corrector required for most observers
-
Lower cost, saving around $500
-
Smaller central obstruction (2.76" secondary vs 3.1" on f/4.5)
-
Optimised for observers seeking the cleanest possible visual performance
Why choose f/4.5?
-
Lower eyepiece height, no ladder required for most users
-
Wider true field of view, ideal for large nebulae and star fields
-
Slightly more compact overall system
-
Coma is mild and often unnoticed by most observers without a corrector
Both focal ratios deliver outstanding views. The f/5 prioritises ultimate optical cleanliness, while the f/4.5 emphasises comfort and wide-field observing. Thanks to Hubble’s two-section truss design for f/5 (single-section for f/4.5), both versions remain equally portable and rigid.
Please note that counterweights are required for the f/5 configuration and are not included.

Design
At the heart of the Founder Optics FOT86 is premium performance 3-element ED APO triplet refractor, designed by a famous optical designer in based in Japan. The optical performance is impressive as a two ED glass elements are employed.
Unlike most ED triplet telescopes which use only 1 ED glass element, Founder Optics adopted 2 ED glass of S-FPL 53 and S-FPL 51 to bring a remarkable image that you'll immediately spot with even a casual viewing. With two fluoro-crown ED glass elements and fully multi-coated optics, these Founder Optics refractors provide a crystal clear, superb sharp, zero aberration and distortion image to your eyes or camera sensor.
In addition, each element is fully separated or air spaced which is not common even among APO triplet telescopes. This offers further improvements to the already impressive optical quality.
Quality
In order to complete this unique design, it requires a very high level machining and assembly capability. Founder Optics partner with an experienced factory located in Taiwan with over 50 years experience in precision manufacturing, especially for Japanese companies.
Besides manufacturing know-how, the high standard of quality control is also crucial to producing FOT86 and FOT106 telescopes. This is recorded in a Quality Certification Card.
Every unit is thoroughly tested, and these unique records help customers understand the quality of their telescope. Founder Optics take their quality checking very seriously as they aim to offer the best triplet APO telescopes to BINTEL customers.

The Sky-Watcher 80mm Esprit 80EDX Triplet APO Refractor is a highly portable instrument, while still having the imaging capabilities to deliver deep-sky astro photos of stunning quality. It's especially suited for those seeking wide field images and visual observations.
The air spaced apochromatic triplet lenses use the remarkable Ohara FPL-53 ED (extra low dispersion) glass, with exceptional colour correction over the entire visible spectrum there is no chromatic aberration even on bright objects! Knife edge baffles reduce internal reflections and increase contrast, helping to bring out faint structure in deep sky objects.
A 2-element field flattener is available separately to iron out the natural off-axis astigmatism and field curvature of the objective lens, leaving a fully corrected 42mm field of view.
