Hi! I’m searching for my first telescope and I have came up with 2 brands in the end: https://www.telescopesplus.com/products/zhumell-z8-deluxe-dobsonian-reflector-telescope -zhumell z8 https://www.astroshop.eu/telescopes/bresser-dobson-telescope-n-200-1200-messier-hexafoc-dob/p,47842 -bresser messier 8” Which one do you think is the best? Clear skies!

Thanks @Ricochet!

And if anyone knows if a 2" filter can be used with the 1.25 eyepieces. I think it can screw in the adaptor?

Hi! Thanks! @Ricochet can you tell me the acclimation time for the bresser 8" telescope with and without the fan? And maybe a link to that computer fan you use?

Firstly, the link about the thing with coma: https://www.astroshop.eu/telescopes/bresser-dobson-telescope-n-200-1200-messier-hexafoc-dob/p,47842 The excellent large Hexafoc focuser has an aperture of 64mm making it impossible to notice any shading from the focuser tube, even with large widefield eyepieces. The 2,5 hexafoc focuser is better than the 2 crayford? Noticeable in focusing or other way? Clear skies!

Thank you all! I have played a bit with astronomy.tools and I found out that the best combination for me is 9mm + 2x barlow. About coma I m still a little bit confused, but I ve read that the 2,5 hexafoc focuser gives no coma at 2” eyepieces, not sure I understood right. Now if anyone can help me to choose one of the two telescopes. Clear skies!

Hi! After gathering more knowledge about this topic I'm stuck between 2 8"dobs: https://astromagazin.ro/telescoape/3261-telescop-bresser-dobson-8.html with a red dot finder, 25 SP and most important, after me, 2.5 hexafoc focuser single-speed (because it gives no coma); https://www.astroshop.eu/telescoape/gso-telescop-dobson-n-200-1200-dob-deluxe-version/p,14189 with 8x50 scope, Erfle 30mm 2", SP 9mm 1,25", a 2" Crayford with 1:10 micro-reduction, a cooling fan For any of them I want to buy an Celestron X-Cel eyepiece for planetary( I don't know what to choose between 5mm,7mm or 9mm) and a 2x Barlow or a 1:10 gear if I go with the Bresser. I want firstly to go on planetary observing but after some time and on DSO. Hope that someone can give me an advice. Clear skies!

Thank you all for your time and energy! This scope isn t going to be moved too much, only in and out of my house, and storage is not a problem. I don t live in a town with much air pollution. Being my first telescope I want to see pretty everything, from planets to nebulas and other deepsky objects. I hope it helps. Clear skies!

HI! I want to purchase a telescope and right now I m thinking to choose between: https://www.astroshop.ro/telescoape/omegon-telescop-dobson-advanced-n-203-1200/p,48730#tab_bar_1_select https://telescop-expert.ro/dobson-skywatcher-skyliner-150-1200-classic_100101 What is your opinion?
