Sky Trekker 300 Wheeley Bar for Dobsonian telescopes.

Our Sky Trekker series Wheeley Bars for Dobsonian telescopes make moving your heavy or  awkward Dobsonian telescope a breeze.  Quickly roll your scope out of storage to your observing area, level ( using the built-in leveling screws), and begin observing.  The process takes just a minute and is nearly effortless.  Your overall observing experience will be much more pleasant and you will find that you will observe more and enjoy your hobby more because setting up is so much quicker and easier.

Demonstration of the Sky Trekker 300

Sizing:  To determine if your telescope will fit this model you will need to measure the distance between the centers of two of the three feet on the bottom side of the ground board.  We will call this the center-of-foot to center-of-foot (cof-to-cof) distance.  To measure this, you will need to turn the rocker box part of the telescope upside down.  Measure the distance between the centers of two of the three feet on the bottom.  Be fairly accurate with your reading.  Record this number.
