SUMMARY:Practical Astronomy August - The Dobsonian Telescope
DESCRIPTION:This month we will be discussing the Dobsonian Telescope\, one of the more common telescope types used by amateur astronomers\, primarily for visual observing. The Dobsonian consists of a Newtonian OTA\, mounted on a simple alt/az mount\, named after the late John Dobson\, “The Sidewalk Astronomer of San Francisco”\, who popularised these for their ease of setup and use for visual observing.
