Default Bushnell 6" Dob

6" Dobsonian Save a Massive £400
A logical choice for the casual deep sky or planetary observer seeking a medium-aperture (150mm or 6") reflecting telescope that is extremely quick to set-up and easy to use. The Dobsonian mounting is well suited to the novice since there are no concerns about aligning the mounting, slow motion controls or potentially confusing co-ordinate setting circles: the telescope remains pointing where placed without the need for locks or clamps.

• Type : Dobsonian reflector
• Mount : Alt-azimuth
• Objective diameter : 150mm
• Focal length : 1200mm
• Focal ratio : f/8.0
• Eyepieces : 25mm
• Magnifications : 48x
• Maximum mag. : 300x
• Finder : 6x30
6" Dobsonian RRP £499 Now £99

Anyone got any experience with this one? Seems a bargain - is this worth recommending for newcomers?
8" priced at £499!
