I don’t like dobsonian style.Personal taste.
Hi to everyone…….I want to buy a telescope but I don’t know which one I should go for it’s either going to be an Orion atlas 10 or an Orion skyquest xt12….which one should I go for……I want one that will allow me to some deep-sky viewing(galaxies, nebulas etc) I know both of the are able to see the mentioned above but which one is the best one….what’s your reccomendation…..which one would you guys choose
You’re a good speaker. Good job.
Yeah.
Got mine today
SkyWatcher 8″ Dobson f/6
awaiting clear skies.
what is the difference betwen the short tube or long tube telescopes. im a beginner and want to buy a telescope to see the moon and other planets like venus, mars, jupiter and saturn. Will a short tube like the one from the ”Orion ShortTube 80-A Refractor Telescope” be good for me?
someone answer please
check out that bad boy !!!
Don’t be envious. You can afford a decent telescope to use at home which will show you some beautiful objects. Start with the basics and work your way up. You’ll get there.
They don’t. And it doesn’t require a laser collimater and skill. Just common sense. The term Dobsonian refers to the mount, not the optics. Newtonian reflectors are sometimes mounted on a Dobsonian mount. This means that the tube assembly and optics within remain static.
i have a reflecter its mark is bushnell
I am getting a 10inch Zhumell Dobsonian.
Is this scope going to be hard to use? are reflectors in general harder to use? I also on a Meade ETX-80 refractor though and it was relatively simple.
Most big dobs need to be collimated
many times per night.
That requires a laser collimater & skill.
Those are nice telescopes.. thanks for the video.. you have helped me understand more about dobsonians!! thanks
I think more than $10,000 for the 25″ telescope
What is the price on that 13″ and 25″ telescope?
very beautiful scopes. I’m so impressed and envious.
