For the price of Bresser’s I thought they could provide dual speed but unfortunately it’s on us the enthusiasts.

Is it? What focuser do you have then?

How about the primary mirrors on both? Do you think it’s good equally? With Bresser’s I’m definitely getting the fan.

Yeah I’m getting quite serious about astrophotography so my choice is Bresser’s one for sure. Feedback and opinions from experienced people from this community really helps in getting to know more about both of my choices. Super happy to be part of the journey with this community.

Hi, thanks for your response. Have you tried astrophotography with the GSO’s focuser? I mean any workaround?

Yeah I agree. Like @Second Time Around said everything else can be upgraded mostly but not the mount bearings right?

Honestly 6x30 finder scope on the bresser is a bummer for sure.

Mount and built quality excluding the optics are something I’m weighing more atm. Like as you said I can upgrade optics and other stuff later. Also may I please know why do you think P&R focuser better than Crayford one?

Thanks. I’m quite happy to have found a super supportive community. Yeah I can manage the weight of 12” and have a dedicated space in my terrace. So not much moving around while home, also the place I reside has light pollution of bortle scale of 4. I’m kinda leaning towards the Bresser one as well.

Hi, After years of waiting and enthusiasm I have decided to buy my own dobsonian. I'm confused with these two options at the moment, 1. BRESSER-Messier-12-Dobson-Telescope 2. GSO 12″ Dobsonian (White) I think O ring is one cool feature in Bresser which GSO doesn't have apart from that GSO comes with two eyepieces default. Now I would like to know which is relatively better and in what aspects? I'm from South Asia and the planning to keep this Dob for a longer time, maybe try some super simple photo capturing but the main purpose will be Deep sky observation only. It would really help to know which comparatively have the edge over the other and what are certain things I have to keep in mind before picking one.
