The telescope optics: The Skywatcher Skyliner 250PX Classic Dobsonian telescope contains a 254mm parabolic Newtonian optics. With its large aperture, it is very well suited for observing fainter deep sky objects in high resolution and contrast. But planets, the moon and all other astronomical objects in the night sky are also a lot of fun. The telescope mount: Dobsonian telescopes have an incredibly good price-performance ratio. The Dobsonian mount was introduced by John Dobson in the 1970s and is a simple but efficient method of mounting a Newtonian telescope azimuthally. It is quick and easy to set up and allows movement in altitude and azimuth. The secret of the mount is the exact balance of the telescope and the use of special materials for the friction that allow a light, smooth movement and keep the telescope safely at a standstill. This mount was developed for manual movement. Sky-Watcher Dobsonian telescopes offer excellent performance when observing the moon, planets and deep sky objects such as galaxies and nebulae.
