Instruments (overview)
46 CM (18”) Dieter Martini Dobson with Nichol/OO optics
This is my newest telescope. It’s a 18” Dieter Martini ‘Travel’ scope with fine optics (1/8) from John Nichol (UK), Hilux coated.
The shroud is provided by Heather (Teeters Telescopes). Focuser is the Moonlite CR3 focuser with filter flip. Secondary holder from Astrosystems.
Packed together, it fits nicely in the boot of my car.
Here it is, mounted on the EQ-platform.
20 CM Hofheim Instruments Travel Dobsonian.
This is my 8" F4 travelscope. It fits in a suitcase. I really enjoy the views through it. The finish and craftsmanship on this little Dob are excellent! Its a keeper. I fell in love with it instantly.
75 mm Unitron/Polarex
A classic! It gives fine views of the planets and some DSO’s. The look and feel: rock solid! This is the real telescope-telescope!
6 cm Apollo
Its purely kept for sentimental reasons. It was my first telescope. No restauration plans yet!
