Feedback
"This telescope is fantastic! We've used it already to look at Jupiter and Saturn and we've never had such an outstanding experience in astronomy before. It is easy to build and impressively easy to operate. It is also very light. Delivery was good, everything is new therefore in a perfect state"
Visually the moon will appear sharper than in the picture shown, but it will take an exceptional "seeing" night to see Saturn as well as the digital image obtained with this model. But if you don't have optics this good that night will pass and you wont have noticed!
A good Dobsonian mounted Newtonian reflector can offer the best view per dollar
The use of a simple Alt-Azimuth mounting, lightweight mirror and modestly priced components evolved from a goal of San Francisco sidewalk astronomer John Dobson to get the most telescope possible into the hands of the amateur observer This model is popular among those who desire an easily manageable telescope with the light gathering and field of view potential for observing many of the most popular deep sky objects (Galaxies, Star Clusters, Nebulae)
And still this telescope affords the good contrast and clarity qualities required for lunar and planetary observing. With a comparatively small central obstruction, and fewer optical surfaces, the contrast and brightness can actually surpass more expensive designs such as the SCT

- 8" F6 (1200mm f.l.)
