Ultra Compact Obsessions (UC)

  • 15" f/4 UC

    15" f/4 UC

    The 15" f/4 UC is a revolutionary design. It is a large aperture telescope that collapses into a very small package. If you have limited hauling or storage capacity, (like the trunk of a small car) then this is the scope for you.

  • 18" f/4 UC

    5 times the light gathering power of an 8 inch Schmidt-Cassegrain.

    Lower eyepiece height means 90% of observing will be done with your feet on the ground.

  • 22" f/4 UC

    7.5 times the light gathering power of an 8 inch Schmidt-Cassegrain.

    If you want big scope views and the ultimate in Dobsonian evolution, the Obsession Ultra Compact 22" is it.
