Dobson&#8217;s telescopes featured a simplified mechanical design that was easy to manufacture from readily available components to create a large, portable, low-cost telescope. The design is optimized for observing faint, deep-sky objects such as nebulae and galaxies. This type of observation requires a large objective diameter (i.e. light-gathering power) of relatively short focal length and portability for travel to less light-polluted locations.<\/p>\n<p>Dobsonians are intended to be what is commonly called a &#8220;light bucket&#8221; operating at low magnification, and therefore the design omits features found in other amateur telescopes such as <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"equatorial\" href=\"https:\/\/astronomicalsolutions.com\/product-category\/mounts\/equatorial-mounts\/\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">equatorial<\/a> tracking. Dobsonians are popular in the amateur telescope making community, where the design was pioneered and continues to evolve. The term Dobsonian is currently used for a range of large-aperture Newtonian reflectors that use some of the basic Dobsonian design characteristics, regardless of the materials from which they are constructed, but can also be applied to smaller diameter designs.<\/p>\n<div>Small but powerful, this bright, Dobsonian for stargazers is extremely portable, easy to use and available at a very reasonable price! This reflecting telescope is easy to operate, even for beginners and offers a straightforward introduction to the fascinating world of astronomy. The scope comes fully assembled and ready to use right out of the box. You can simply place it on a table, fit one of the two supplied eyepieces and begin exploring outer space. All required accessories are included, even a small book that introduces you to the starry sky and planetarium software for your computer.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Please note: Reflectors with a Newtonian optical design are very good for astronomical observing of the night sky. But these telescopes are not well suited for observing landscape and nature during daylight.
