Not only for beginners – also enthusiastic and experienced amateur astronomers love this high performance and compact telescope for traveling and to discover the night sky. The main goal of this telescope is the quick setup and the ease of use. Simply put the Messier 5″ Dobson telescope on a table in your backyard, point the telescope to your target object and you are ready to start your observation.
The Messier 5″ Dobson is almost pre-assembled ex factory which means you can start within minutes. With the included standard accessories (LED-finder, 25mm and 9mm Kellner eyepieces and Moonfilter) the telescope is ready for observing. The inbuilt compass and circular level speeds up the telescopes orientation.
The optical diameter of 130mm (5″) does not restrict your observations on solar system objects like the moon or the planets – you can reach farther into the sky and explore globular and open clusters, nebulae and galaxies. Finding and observing is much easier with that light gathering richfield telescope. Bresser also has equipped these dobsonians with a high quality main mirror which offers a very good sharpness and contrast. In addition, this telescope has a particularly large secondary mirror for ideal illumination of the image field.
The optical tube can easily be moved inside the tube rings in order to find the optimal balance and observing position. This is another virtue of this highly versatile telescope system: If you wish to use this telescope on a different mount at times, you can simply remove the optical tube from the dobsonian telescope mount and use the optics on a equatorial mount for astrophotography with smartphones und eyepiece cameras – in minutes.

Reflectors have 2 mirrors. The alignment between the 2 mirrors (collimation) is of utmost importance! The new telescopes come collimated form the factory, however, if you make any changes or adjustments in any of the screws around/ behind the primary mirror and and those behind the secondary mirror or those holding the spider, the mirrors will go out of alignment with each other and the telescope will require collimation again. Note that collimation is a DIY process, no other persons or dealers will do it. Although it is part and parcel of using a reflector telescope, it can be quite a tedious process. If you are a beginner/ first time telescope user, please refrain from turning/ opening/ adjusting any screws on the telescope other than those controlling the mount and the focuser. Note that sometimes opening up parts of the telescope may also lead to voiding the warranty of the product! Note:. Choice of color is not possible in telescopes as color is changed by some manufacturers from batch to batch. Note:. Reflectors with larger apertures than 76mm are sometimes prone to slight/ minor dents during transit. However this does not impact the performance of the telescope and hence returns / replacement is not undertaken on this account.
