Astronomical telescopes for the discerning observer
24"f4 Dobsonian
|
The 24"f4 is the largest telescope in the "Standard" range, (Although that does not mean I cannot produce bigger telescopes if asked). While possessing an enormous light collecting area, it will still pack up an fit into the boot of the larger sized car or hatchback. The telescope pictured above was made several years ago and the current style of construction has been improved and is more like the 20-inch pictured on other pages.
