Bresser Messier 6″ 150/750 Dobson Telescope
The Bresser Messier Dobson 6″ telescope features a 150mm primary mirror and a 750mm focal length - and it delivers genuine performance that most buyers would only expect from instruments costing considerably more. Both beginners and experienced astronomers rate this model highly. It works equally well as a home observatory telescope and as a compact travel instrument you can take anywhere.
The Dobsonian mount makes operation simple and intuitive. Place the telescope on a table, point it at your chosen object, and you are ready to observe straight away. No complicated setup, no steep learning curve.
Everything you need - right out of the box
The telescope arrives almost fully assembled. From unpacking to your first view of the night sky takes just a few minutes. The package includes all essential accessories:
- 25mm Kellner eyepiece
- 9mm Kellner eyepiece
- LED red dot finderscope
- Moon filter
- 2″ to 1.25″ adapter
A built-in compass and circular spirit level help you orientate the telescope quickly and position it correctly at your observing site. No additional purchases are needed to start observing on your very first night.
What can you see with this telescope?
A 150mm (6″) primary mirror opens up a rich view of the night sky. The telescope is capable of:
- Detailed views of the Moon and the planets of our Solar System
- Open and globular star clusters
- Nebulae and galaxies
- A wide range of deep sky objects
The key to this performance is the high-quality parabolic primary mirror, ground from optical glass. A parabolic mirror delivers noticeably sharper and higher-contrast images than a standard spherical mirror. The 55mm secondary mirror illuminates the full field of view evenly, with no unwanted vignetting at the edges.
2″ focuser - compatible with all your eyepieces
The telescope is fitted with a 2.0″ rack-and-pinion focuser. This means you can use both standard 1.25″ eyepieces and wide-angle 2″ eyepieces for the maximum field of view. The included 2″ to 1.25″ adapter ensures your existing eyepiece collection remains fully compatible. Focusing is smooth and precise, even at higher magnifications.
Flexible design for every astronomer
The optical tube slides freely in its tube rings, so you can adjust the balance easily and find a comfortable viewing position regardless of your height. The tube also detaches from the Dobsonian mount quickly, allowing you to fit it to an equatorial mount - useful if you want to explore astrophotography later on.
This level of flexibility is rare at this price point. The Bresser Messier Dobson 6″ is a long-term investment that will grow with your interest in astronomy.
A note on daytime use
Newtonian reflectors are designed and optimised for night sky observation. For daytime nature and landscape viewing, a refractor or a spotting scope would be a better choice. At night, however, the Bresser Messier Dobson 6″ shows its full potential and rewards you with remarkable views of the universe.
