🔭 Sky-Watcher Stargate 500P GoTo Dobsonian Telescope

Sky-Watcher's largest Dobsonian telescope: a monumental 508mm (20") truss-tube instrument with computerized SynScan GoTo tracking. The Stargate 500P is built for observers who want the single greatest jump in visual light-gathering power available in a Dobsonian design, revealing galaxies, nebulae and clusters with a depth that smaller telescopes simply cannot match.

🔭 508mm Aperture 🎯 SynScan GoTo 🏗️ Truss-Tube Construction 🌌 Extreme Deep-Sky Performance ⭐ Flagship Dobsonian

⭐ Quick Overview

planetary nebulae
globular clusters
subtle deep-sky detail invisible in smaller telescopes

Main Advantages

Massive 508mm aperture for extreme light-gathering power
computerized SynScan GoTo tracking
collapsible truss-tube design for transport
exceptional value per millimetre of aperture

The Ultimate Amateur Light Bucket

The Stargate 500P represents the practical ceiling of what a large amateur Dobsonian can achieve: a full 508mm parabolic mirror gathers an enormous amount of light compared with even a 254mm (10") telescope, opening up faint galaxies, planetary nebulae and subtle structure in bright nebulae that remain effectively invisible in smaller apertures.

The truss-tube construction allows the telescope to break down into a compact package for transport to dark-sky sites, while the SynScan GoTo system takes over the demanding task of locating faint targets across such a large field of view.

🌌 What Can You See With The Stargate 500P?

🌌 Faint Galaxies

Structure and detail in galaxies well beyond the reach of smaller telescopes.

✨ Planetary Nebulae

Fine structural detail in objects like the Ring and Dumbbell Nebulae.

⭐ Globular Clusters

Resolved to their cores with an extraordinary density of visible stars.

🪐 Planets

Exceptional resolution on nights of good atmospheric seeing.

💡 Why 508mm Aperture Is A Different League

A 508mm mirror gathers roughly four times as much light as a 254mm (10") telescope and more than 25 times as much as a 100mm refractor. At this scale, the difference is not incremental — entire classes of faint deep-sky objects become visible for the first time, transforming what visual deep-sky observing can reveal.

🎯 SynScan GoTo Technology At Scale

🎯 Automatic GoTo object locating across an extensive database

🔄 Motorized dual-axis tracking suited to high-magnification viewing

🏗️ Collapsible truss-tube design for transport to dark-sky locations

👥 A superb instrument for astronomy club and public outreach events

⭐ A Flagship Instrument For Serious Observers

The Stargate 500P is not intended as a casual first telescope; it is a flagship instrument for observers who have already built experience with smaller telescopes and want to experience deep-sky observing at its most capable, largely visual, level.

🎯 Perfect For

⭐ Advanced Amateur Astronomers

The largest practical step up in visual deep-sky performance.

🏛️ Astronomy Clubs

An outstanding shared instrument for dark-sky observing events.

👥 Public Outreach

Delivers unforgettable views for audiences of any experience level.

📸 Visual-First Design

The Stargate 500P is built primarily for visual observing. Its Dobsonian altazimuth mount is not intended for long-exposure deep-sky astrophotography, though its GoTo tracking is well suited to extended high-power visual sessions and basic planetary imaging.

💡 Deployment Tips For Best Results

Allow the large primary mirror significant cooldown time, often over an hour, to reach outdoor temperature.
A dark-sky site is strongly recommended to make full use of this aperture on faint targets.
Two or more people are typically needed to assemble and transport the truss-tube structure safely.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Is this telescope suitable for beginners?

It is best suited to observers with prior telescope experience, given its size and setup requirements.

❓ Can one person set it up?

Assembly and transport are generally easier with two people due to the telescope's size and weight.

❓ What kind of sky does this telescope need?

It performs best under dark skies, where its large aperture can reveal the faintest deep-sky objects.
