Classic design with modern finish
The Bresser 150/1200 Dobson is an ideal choice for those who want to see the Moon and planets in detail.
The long focal length of 1200 mm (f/8) provides high magnifications with excellent contrast and minimal image aberration.
Perfect for those whose main focus is visual observation of bright objects and fine details.
Razor-sharp images, even at high magnification
The parabolic main mirror of 150 mm offers enough luminosity to show even fainter deep-sky objects, while the longer focal length ensures sharpness at higher magnifications.
The SiO₂-layered aluminum coating ensures maximum reflection and color purity.
Expected:
- Moon: sharp edges, shadows and mountains
- Jupiter: cloud bands and the Galilean moons
- Saturn: clear rings and Cassini separation
- Mars: polar caps and color contrasts
- Bright deep-sky objects: Orion Nebula, Andromeda, M13
Solid Dobson base with smooth movement
The robust floor-Dobson base offers stability and smooth operation.
Large bearings ensure precise tracking of objects, while the elevation brake maintains balance with heavier eyepieces.
The low center of gravity provides a quiet, vibration-free image essential at high magnifications.
Ready to use and solidly built
The telescope comes fully pre-assembled with all necessary accessories. Ready for observation within minutes.
Included:
- Optical tube 150/1200 mm (Newton reflector)
- Dobson floor base
- 9 mm and 25 mm eyepieces (1.25″)
- Red Dot viewfinder
- Moon Filter
- Collimation aid
The parabolic main mirror captures over 450 times more light than the human eye and prevents image distortion, allowing you to see details that simply remain hidden with smaller telescopes. Think Saturn's rings, Jupiter's cloud bands with its four brightest moons, and bright nebulae like Orion. The Moon shows itself in stunning detail - craters, mountains and valleys seem at your fingertips.
The wooden Dobson mount makes the telescope stable and intuitive to use: just point and watch, without complicated alignment or electronics. This makes the Messier 150/1200 particularly suitable for beginners who want immediate results.
What we recommend
✓ Moon: excellent fit
✓ Planets: very detailed
✓ Deep-sky: limited by f/8, but bright objects visible
✗ Astrophotography: not suitable
✗ Earth observation: not suitable
