Bresser Messier Dobson 6-Inch 150/750 mm Telescope - White

The telescope itself is very good quality and the images seen are bright and clear. The supplied eyepieces are adequate and ok to start you off but will very quickly need replacing for better quality ones. The supplied red dot finder is awful. It’s a very cheap plastic and moves position every time you turn it on and off rendering it more or less useless.. An excellent quality telescope slightly spoiled by poor supplied accessories.

Best scope by far for price, sets up in minutes.Eyepieces are adequate for casual viewing.Red dot finder is awkward to use viewing overhead, (i replaced mine with a 9x50 right angled finder and a base bracket for about £70)No Barlow lens but does come with a solar filter which covers aperture and a moon filter.

If you’ve never used a telescope before, this may not be the best place to start. This 5 inch Dob is fairly solid, and will make it possible to see the rings on Saturn (but only just). However, mine arrived badly in need of collimating (lining up the mirrors) before it could be used. This isn’t a big deal, but it’s fiddly to do if you aren’t experienced, and will delay your viewing pleasure.It’s also susceptible to vibration. A slight wind will have it shaking, and if you have it on a table you’ll have to be careful not to knock it.That said, I was quite pleased with it until I discovered that there wasn’t enough travel on the focuser to take photographs. Basically, light reflected off the mirror couldn’t reach the sensor of the camera in such a way that sharp images can be formed. I’ve since learned this is a foible of reflectors, and moving the mirror up the tube (something I wouldn’t want to mess with) can help.I’ve returned mine, and opted for a smaller refractor scope, also from a Bresser, which I hope will be more suitable for imaging.If you just want to see the stars and not take photos, give it a go. But maybe read some astronomy forums first to make sure this model is right for you.

Awesome!!!!

Telescope part is ok but the mount is next to useless almost impossible to keep on subject finder scope not very good if you put the light on in the dark it almost blinds you.
