Revelation 12" Dobsonian Telescope
Would the following telescope be any good for deep space and planet
viewing? I looked at one some weeks ago and as the other poster says, they're good value for money. Even if the mirror's a bit dodgy you could wait until it's time to re-aluminise then re-figure it. You can't lose. jc |

Revelation 12" Dobsonian Telescope
"Roger Hembury" wrote in message ... Would the following telescope be any good for deep space and planet viewing? http://www.greenwich-observatory.co....her_Makes.html and scroll to the bottom of the page. Hi! I have a 12" GSO dobsonian which is made in Taiwan. It looks pretty much like the revelation dobsonian. Does anyone know if the mirrors come from the same manufacturer? what is the difference between these telescopes? The revelation 12" seems to be made in China. I bought my telescope from: http://www.telescope-service.de/ . I haven't had any problems with it and I think the quality of the optics is very good. Mirror test: http://www.eclipseoptics.com/mirrors.html . To make it easier to move the telescope I built a round plate of 20mm plywood with wheels and put it under the rocker box. Tommi |
