A Dobsonian telescope offers the best optical performance for your money. 90% of the value are concentrated in the optical tube assembly (mirror cell, focuser etc.). So you get much aperture for a good price.

Skywatcher Dobsonians are well crafted and will bring observing fun for many years to you. At Teleskop-Service, a Dobsonian is no dead-end-street. We offer all possible optional equipment like equatorial mounts, dozens of eyepieces, and even equipment for astro photography (SKD6 not for SLR, as the back focus is not sufficient).

The optical system of the SKD6 has an aperture of 15 cm (6"). It has a parabolic primary mirror for high image definition. Due to the long focal length, the secondary mirror can be kept small making this telescope for a lunar and planetary specialist. The very high contrast leads to detail visibility near the physical limitations. Of course, deep sky observations are also pleasing. Pinpoint stars over the entire field of view make observing galaxies and nebulae an aesthetic delight. Skywatcher guarantees a difraction limited optic.



Horizontal and vertical positioning of the SKD8 is very easy. It has sliding bearings in both axes. The telescope remains stable - just point, release and observe. Vertical adjustment is aided by the "tension control" system (see picture above). Here, you can adjust for the stiffness in this axis and even lock it.



The 2" focuser:

This Dobsonian has a smooth and precise 2" focuser with a reducer to 1.25". So you can use any astronomical eyepiece.

A photo of the moon, showing the Skywatcher Dobsonians performance:Mr. Degen made this pretty photo of the moon October 28th, 2009. This is a nearly unprocessed photo, captured with a Fuji Finepix F40 in eyepiece projection through a TS HR planetary 8mm.
