Dobsonian telescopes are simple in design and intuitive to use. They are therefore particularly popular with newcomers to astronomy and occasional observers. But experienced amateur astronomers also love this type of telescope, as the simple design allows the use of a large mirror at a fair price.
The traditional Bresser company now offers a Dobsonian telescope with a 305 millimetre mirror diameter in its Messier series: N 305/1525 Messier Hexafoc
This model also shares the special advantages of the Dobsonian telescopes in the Messier series:
- Newtonian optics with parabolic primary mirror
- Large altitude wheels and azimuthal needle bearing for movements without jerking
- Tube with tube clamps: The telescope can be finely balanced. It is even possible to use the optics on a different mount.
- The supporting box can be assembled in just a few minutes using metal furniture connectors.
- A suitable filter for observing the sun is already included in the scope of delivery.
The tube of the largest model N 305/1525 Messier Hexafoc is made of fiberglass and is therefore relatively easy to transport.
