Simply place the entire telescope on a flat surface and align it to view the desired object. With the 150 mm diameter optics, observation is not limited to the moon and the planets of our solar system - you can look much further into the night sky and observe globular clusters, nebulae and galaxies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite its lower price, it offers a range of functions and quality, which one would expect to find on more advanced telescopes of this type. With an aperture diameter of 150mm and a 1200mm focal length with color-pure mirror optics, observations of the moon, the planets and star clusters can be viewed quite easily. The craters and grooves on the moons surface as well as the rapidly changing shadow cast on the so-called Terminator are particularly exciting targets to view through this telescope. Saturn with its imposing ring structure, Jupiter with the cloud bands and the movement of its easily visible moons, the crescent shape of Venus and the reddish smoldering Mars are also good examples of what can be viewed with this telescope..\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn short, this is a telescope primarily suitable for detailed space observations and is an excellent choice for beginners in Astronomy. For stowage or transport the base assembly can be disassembled quite easily and flat packed for convenience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Newtonian Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture: 150mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal length: 1200mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal Ratio: F\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum useful magnification: x 300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelescope for night and solar observation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-quality Bresser Newtonian optics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal telescope for planets, moon, binary stars and planetary nebulae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolar observation possible through the included solar filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy and smooth-running 2 inch 50.8mm rack and pinion focuser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary mirror made of special glass with low thermal expansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy-to-move metal tube for balancing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDismountable rocker box with accessory shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube mounting on height wheels by means of pipe clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse of the optics (OTA Assembly) can also by used on other mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustment and counter screws of different sizes on the mirror cell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViewing height at the zenith: approx. 115cm (suitable for children)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOTA weight: 8.3 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase weight: 7.8 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal weight: 16.1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions once assembled: 45 x 45 x 128 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhats included:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDobsonian 6\" Telescope OTA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDobson telescope mount (disassembled for DIY)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens Solar Filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6x30 Optical Viewfinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25mm Super Plössl Eyepiece (Ø 31.7mm \/ 1.25in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Extension sleeve (25mm for 2 inch focuser)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x eyepiece adapter diameter 31.7 to 50.8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(24, 154, 35); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eTOP TIP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: This Telescope is also available with a special upgrade pack for an enhanced viewing experience - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.horizonastronomy.ie\/collections\/telescopes-bundle-upgrade-kits\/products\/bresser-messier-150-dobsonian-solar-system-upgrade-pack\" target=\"_blank\" title='Bresser Messier 6\" Dobsonian telescope upgrade bundle kit' rel=\"noopener\"\u003eClick here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.horizonastronomy.ie\/collections\/telescopes-bundle-upgrade-kits\/products\/bresser-nano-solar-system-explorer-kit\" title=\"Bresser Messier Nano beginner telescope upgrade bundle kit\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDownload the Bresser Dobsonian Manual \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1924\/6275\/files\/Bresser_Messier_Dobsonian_Telescope_Manual.pdf?v=1631206262\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 11px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSAFETY NOTICE:\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cspan\u003eNever look directly at the Sun through your Binoculars or Telescope - immediate and permanent eye damage may result.
