- Want to buy a telescope? I give you 5 good reasons to choose a 12" DOBSONIAN Telescope. A good choice for beginners or experienced astronomers that want to get aperture to get better visual observations or nice EAA / Astrophotography when using with an Equatorial Platform. This was my first Dobsonian Telescope.

I have a 14 inches orion, it it is heavy but I love it. My equatorial platform is under construction. After that I'll probably go the EAA path
That's really great! I hope you finish the platform ASAP, it will be a game changer 👍👍
Your channel is my favorite ❤ when it comes to real-world optical systems and DIY. I live my dibs and have learned a lot from your videos!🎉
one of these days you show us your set up :)
I love my 10 inch dob! Not too big like a 12 and not as small as an 8 it's perfect for me. Clear skys
Me too...can carry it, load it in the back seat.
Thanks for this video!
In how many galaxies have you been able to observe with direct vision the spiral arms with this 12" telescope?
Very few. You need darker sky to do that. But some of them in a good night, we can, with patience. I'm bortle 5
I am thinking about building a 12" f5 Dob and am wondering ***what your 12" focal ratio is? *** Your tube looks long so I assume yours is a slow scope. My biggest concern is being able to move it so thinking about a truss design. I currently have both a 6" f6 Dob and an 80mm f7 refractor on a GEM. The refractor will get more use since it is easier to move since I have to go to remote sites to avoid light pollution in our city.
Mine is fast, f/5, but i usually work at f/3.75 because i use a starizona nexus with it. Yes, it's a telescope to use always in the same location, not to travel for sure
6. it's a great workout, since moving a 12'' telescope around will make you gain a lot of muscle! 💪
you bet!
hiya ! what would be the best small home full size Dobson for a starting star gazer in a light polluted area ?
This one. I have it and love it: ruclips.net/video/r0YbWyATAsA/видео.html
Thank you.
👍
Hi, did you buy that equatorial platform or built it, do you know the name brand for it?
Geoptik.com
i am from india, at my location the latitude of pole star is 22°. i could not find any eq platform for this latitude. the geooptik platform can go down to 30°. Can the geooptik platform be setup in anyway for 22°?
10º is too much. Usually a 5º difference is not so important, we adjust the altitude. I would say it could be used at 32º with adjustments only at the legs but i'm not 100% sure about it.
@@DobsonianPower thanx for replying.
i was really inspired by you, and ordered a 8inch gso dobsonian. It will be delivered next week. Love your work. Hoping to get into EAA just like you.
@@siddharthamahata congratulations for your new 8 inch, it will give you very nice moments in life for sure👍
Hello, I was considering getting the Sky-Watcher 12" Flextube SynScan GoTo Collapsible Dobsonian. Any thoughts on collapsible telescope vs a solid tube?
Go for it. Has tracking and you can move the sliders if you need backfocus. Solid are good but heavier.
@@DobsonianPower thank you very much for sharing your thoughts! In this video you showed the Geoptik Eartha Dobson Platform Variable Lattitude. It looks like it is the same platform that you reviewed in your video entitled “Strong EQ PLATFORM Geoptik Eartha Full Review.” Very good video by the way! Can this platform be connected with a Goto 12” Dobsonian for automatic tracking?
@Tech World you can use a goto over the eq platform however it will mess a bit with the goto because the telescope will not be always parallel to the floor. Usually the goto has tracking. Are you talking about a push-to maybe?
I have the non-go to Sky-Watcher 12" Flextube and have been very happy with it. I have had no issues with the collapsible tube. I collimate with a Cheshire whenever I drive it to a dark sky location especially if the road was rough. However, I am frequently surprised how well it holds collimation.
@@DobsonianPower No. I meant the Goto. But you explained. I am very new to the hobby. So, I did not know how well tracking is on a dob. I guess I should go with a Goto dob.
Hello sir, I will be buying my first telescope. Should I get a 10 or 12 inch dobsonian? Is it worth giving 150 dollars more for the 12-inch dobsonian, or should I buy the 10-inch
12"
Vim parar a um canal de um astrónomo português, sem querer. 😁 Fiquei muito contente por conhecer o seu canal e já me subscrevi. Ando a pensar adquirir um telescópio Dobson de 12'' mas sinceramente, tenho medo do peso e do tamanho do mesmo, espacialmente porque teria que criar uma maneira segura e prática de o transportar no meu pequeno carro. Já vi que transporta o seu usando fitas à volta do tubo. Gostaria de poder experimentar algures em 1a ou 2a mão o manuseamento de uma coisa desse tamanho e fragilidade.
O de 12 não transporto. Atualmente só saio com este ruclips.net/video/dXW6IVE5DO4/видео.html
@@DobsonianPower pois, esse de 6'' é bastante mais transportável, mas claro, a quantidade de luz captada vai ser menor. Tenho que pensar muito bem no que vou fazer. 😉
@@Volans2000 é comprar a maior abertura que pudermos aguentar. Mas não se pode ter tudo
Acho que ainda vou ter que arranjar um tubo de PVC de 30cm de diâmetro e meter lá dentro 20Kg de areia para fazer peso, a ver se consigo manobra-lo e transporta-lo. 😁👍
12" dobsonian, the best telescope in the world! 💪 (But yes, begin with a 6" virtuoso!)
12" is like 900 😐
Need at least a 16 inch to resolve the faint fuzzies
In my bortle 5 i can resolve easily till 15 magnitude. Larger apertures can go further
@@DobsonianPower You have excellent eyes sir, I need at least my 24 to resolve that low without averted vision with poor eyes : ) I’m in Bortle 2-3… These days I’m using a 202mm f/2 and low noise camera, it’s cheating, but it’s easy for the old folks and kids…
@@robertw1871 oh no. I was talking about imaging. With my eyes i can't go that high. Yes, you're right, visually we need even more aperture too small faint fuzzies. 👍
@@DobsonianPower Ah, I’m glad to know my eyes aren’t as poor as they seemed lol…. Modern technology is amazing…
@@robertw1871 until they insert the machine it in our eyes...📸👀
