{"id":248,"count":0,"description":"The Dobsonian telescope invented around 1950 by John Dobson is a very popular type of reflector telescopes. The simple system ensures that you can quickly start observing in relation to other systems. This type does not need a tripod and has a fairly simple construction. Click on \"Read more\" for our recommended Dobsonian telescopes as well as other information.\r\n<br>\r\n<a class=\"expand-cat\">Read more<\/a>\r\n<div class=\"category-desc-last\">\r\n<br>\r\nCompared to a parallactic setup, you don't have to point the mount to the north and adjust it to the latitude of the earth. Only tracking with a Dobsonian telescope is slightly less easy compared to a parallactic set-up. Dobsonian reflector telescopes do not suffer from color errors and can handle a higher magnification as standard.\r\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"margin-bottom: 50px\">\r\n<div class=\"col-md-8\">\r\n<h4>Orion SkyQuest XT6 and XT8 PLUS Dobson Reflector Telescopes<\/h4>\r\nOrion has upgraded the XT Classic models! While their SkyQuest XT Classic Dob has been - and still is - a telescope of choice among budding astronomy enthusiasts for years, Orion has released a \"deluxe\" version with some cool design improvements and an extensive accessory pack. The result is the sleek, easy-to-use SkyQuest XT PLUS Dobsonian! With sharp, powerful optics and simplicity to point and see, this eye-catching 6\u2033 or 8\u2033 Dobsonian reflector shines like never before.\r\n<br>\r\nStarting at the bottom, Orion gave the SkyQuest XT PLUS models a redesigned Dobsonian base with a sleeker, more streamlined look. Weight-saving cutouts in the side panels make it easier to move the base to and from observation areas. A white trim band around the round base plate of the XT6 and XT8 PLUS bases improves visibility in the dark.\r\n<br>\r\nThe optical tube of the XT PLUS models, which has an attractive 'twilight blue' metallic finish, houses a 150mm (5.9\u2033) or 203mm (8\u2033) parabolic mirror with improved reflective (94%) aluminum coatings for superior light transmission compared to standard mirrors. These telescopes deliver serious magnification power.<br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-md-4\"><img class=\"alignright\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cat-Dobson_Orion_XT8-1.png\" \/>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\nFor further product details see the <a href=\"\/en\/product\/orion-skyquest-xt6-plus-dobsonian-reflector-telescoop\/\">SkyQuest XT6 Plus<\/a> or the <a href=\"\/en\/product\/orion-skyquest-xt8-plus-dobsonian-reflector-telescope\/\">SkyQuest XT8 Plus<\/a> models pages.","link":"https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/en\/product-category\/telescopes-en\/telescopes-dobsonian-telescopes-en\/","name":"Dobsonian telescopes","slug":"telescopes-dobsonian-telescopes-en","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":242,"meta":[],"menu_order":50,"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
