Sky-Watcher Skyliner 250P Dobsonian - My First Telescope
Dobsonian Reflector Telescope
Pros
- + Fantastic finder scope that came with the telescope
Cons
- − The unit is extremely heavy and required two people to fully assemble/disassemble before and after sessions.
- − Whilst the mount grants coverage of the night sky, it's cumbersome tightening the handle screws for each adjustment when finding an object
Recommended Accessories
Worth pairing with these if you're buying it.
2x Barlow Lens
The Barlow lens serves as a magnification multiplier for any eyepiece attached to it. It works by diverging (spreading out) the incoming light cone from the telescope before it hits the eyepiece, effectively increasing the focal length.
This will fit most telescopes, so long as you have an adapter to 1.25".
Telescope Rain Cover
Don't get caught out when the weather unexpectedly shifts. Having one of these handy will help protect the mirrors/lenses etc. The base of this Dobsonian is some sort of chip board, so this'll protect the mount from water damage too.
Given it's size, this will cover a large number of telescopes and mounts, so it will serve it's purpose if you chose a different setup.
