Parks Optical’s AZ6 6-inch f/6 Astrolight Newtonian reflector rides on an alt-azimuth mount atop a steel pier. This puts the scope at eye level for most observers.

Simply put, a Dobsonian telescope is a type of large aperture Newtonian telescope design popularised by John Dobson back in the mid 1960s, and from whom it takes its name.

One of the few Newtonian-based astrographs on the market comes from the Israeli company Boren-Simon. Its PowerNewt 2.8-8 ED is an 8-inch f/2.8 reflector designed for wide-field astrophotography.

Reflector telescopes—which include Dobsonian and Newtonian—use mirrors to reflect the light into focus. These bounce light back and forth in the optical tube, which allows for a shorter design.
