SKYWATCHER DOBSON 6''

The Sky-Watcher 6" Dobsonian is a 153 mm aperture Newtonian reflector mounted on a classic alt-azimuth Dobsonian base. Popularized by John Dobson, this design pivots the optical tube in altitude while the base swivels in azimuth, delivering generous light-gathering at an affordable price. With a 1200 mm focal length (about f/7.9), it is an excellent first telescope for observing the Moon, planets and brighter deep-sky objects.
