With 471 times more light than the naked eye and a long focal length of 1200 mm (f\/7.9), this is a natural choice for observing the Moon and planets, and it also reveals the bright deep-sky classics. GSO cuts the mirrors for many well-known merk models; here you can buy those optics without the merk markup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"14023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"GSO 152\/1200 Dobson telescope\" class=\"wp-image-14023\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-1-990x990.jpg 990w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-1-441x441.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-1-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"14022\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The GSO 152\/1200 on the wooden Dobsonian mount\" class=\"wp-image-14022\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-2-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-2-990x990.jpg 990w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-2-441x441.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-2-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-2-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GSO-Dobson-telescoop-N-152-1200-DOB-2.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Long focal length: forgiving and sharp<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At f\/7.9, simple eyepieces are already sharp to the edge and collimation is less critical than with fast mirrors.
