Dobsonian with a large mirror diameter in a lightweight construction.
The Stargate series of Dobsonian telescopes have thin mirrors with a honeycomb structure. These are not only light, but also cool down quickly. This results in less air turbulence above the mirror surface (mirror seeing).
Thanks to their truss tube design, these large telescopes are still easy to transport.
