New Main: Dobsonian

  1. Large Aperture: Dobsonian telescopes are designed to have a large aperture, which allows them to collect more light and provide a brighter, clearer image of the night sky. This makes them ideal for observing faint and distant objects such as galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters.

  2. Simple and Sturdy Design: Dobsonian telescopes have a simple design that is easy to use and maintain. The mount consists of a sturdy and stable wooden base with a rocker box that allows for smooth and easy movement of the telescope. This simple design also makes the Dobsonian telescope less expensive than other types of telescopes with similar aperture sizes.

  3. Easy to Use: Dobsonian telescopes are easy to set up and use, even for beginners. The simple mount design allows for quick and easy pointing and tracking of celestial objects, without the need for complicated computerised systems or motors.

  4. Wide Field of View: The simple design of the Dobsonian mount allows for a wide field of view, which makes it easier to locate and observe celestial objects. This is particularly useful for observing large and extended objects such as galaxies and star clusters.
