This JMI NGT-12.5" f/4.5 Reflector Telescope is an open truss Newtonian design that gathers lots of light in a package that is supremely portable. The NGT-12.5 weighs only 120 pounds with the heaviest single component being 40 pounds, so you can easily pack the entire system into the trunk of a small car and drive to where skies and sightlines are the darkest & longest.
