The GSO Dobson Telescope N 152/1200 DOB: You want to really see what’s happening above your head. Not just the moon, but also Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s cloud bands, and deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy. The GSO 152/1200 Dobsonian helps you do this – without having to fiddle with settings, apps, or batteries.
Ready for a telescope that truly shows what’s happening in the sky? The GSO Dobson 152/1200 is a full-fledged instrument for serious beginners. No plastic toys, no alignment problems — just point and observe.
With a parabolic 152 mm primary mirror, you’ll catch enough light to convincingly observe the moon, planets, and deep-sky objects. The focal length of 1200 mm (f/7.9) ensures a steady image and makes focusing easy, even at higher magnifications.
The stable Dobsonian mount makes pointing and tracking smooth and intuitive — even children can use it, while the optics remain professional-grade.
What can you see with it?
✓ The moon in stunning detail: craters, mountain ranges, shadow areas
✓ Jupiter with its four largest moons and cloud bands
✓ Saturn and its rings, including Cassini Division in good conditions
✓ Deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula, M13, and Andromeda Galaxy
✓ Double stars like Albireo or Epsilon Lyrae clearly separated
Why this model stands out:
– 6-inch parabolic mirror (152 mm) = powerful without being cumbersome
– f/7.9 focal ratio = ideal for steady views and planetary details
– Stable wooden Dobsonian mount = no hassle, just observing
– Includes cooling fan for faster mirror cooling
– 1.25-inch focuser with fine adjustment = precise focusing, even at 200x magnification
– Comes with eyepieces and a good finder scope — ready to start immediately
