The Dobsonian mount, popularized by John Dobson in the 1970.s, is a\nsimple and efficient method of mounting a Newtonian reflector, based on the\nAlt-Azimuth principal. Fast and easy to set up, the Dobsonian mount consists of\na box-type mounting which allows the telescope to pivot in altitude, while the\nbox itself is rotated on a base in azimuth. The secret of the design is to\ncorrectly balance the optical tube and use frictional materials which allow it\nto be moved easily when nudged but to stay in position when not. The mount is\ndesigned to be driven by hand as opposed to slow motion controls. Sky-Watcher\nDobsonians provide excellent all round performance for the observation the Moon\nand Planets and Deep Sky Objects such as Galaxies and Nebulae.\n\n--Magnifications\n(with Eyepieces supplied): x4.
