In the 1960's, American amateur astronomer, John Dobson, designed a
revolutionary kind of astronomical telescope featuring a
lightweight large-aperture reflecting system on a simple mounting,
using the then-revolutionary material called teflon. The design
combines simplicity and portability with large-aperture prowess.
Thirty years later Dobsonians remain supreme for visually observing
faint deep-sky objects and are one of the best-selling large
telescopes in the USA and Europe. This popularity is reflected in
the recent increase of companies now heavily marketing Dobsonians,
in particular, Meade (the "Lightbridge" range), Orion USA (XT
Intelliscope series), and Skywatcher (Skyliner and Flextube
models). This book is the ultimate guide to buying and using
commercial Dobsonians, both 'Econo' and 'Primo' models, with
in-depth accounts for the various models (plus accessories) on the
market and descriptions of the many innovations that amateurs have
made to optimize their telescopes' performance.
