Test report: Omegon Advanced X N 152mm Dobson impresses the experts

March 31 2025, Marcus Schenk

News for all visual observers. In the December 2024 issue of the renowned magazine “Astronomy Now“, our Omegon Advanced X N 152mm Dobson was put through its paces. And the result? Passed with flying colours!

Experienced tester Steve Ringwood was particularly impressed by the excellent optical quality. The heart of the telescope – its parabolic primary mirror – delivered razor-sharp images of planets, stars and DeepSky objects. Even at high magnifications the top notch quality of the optics was evident. The expert was also enthusiastic about its easy handling.

The tester’s conclusion speaks for itself:
“This is an outstanding telescope for a rapid set-up, at the outset of a new observer or the onset of a clear evening. It has great potential, belied by a very keen price point.”

New telescopes of the NexStar SLT series from Celestron

July 15 2024, Stefan Taube

Under the name NexStar SLT (Star Locating Telescope), Celestron offers computer-controlled telescopes that allow access to the night sky without any prior knowledge.

Two models with the very popular Schmidt-Cassegrain optics are now available in this series:

Schmidt-Cassegrain optics have a long focal length, which is ideal for observing the moon, planets and planetary nebulae at high magnification. Nevertheless, the tube is very short and easy to transport. The closed tube protects the mirror from dust. SC telescopes are stable in adjustment and show an image without colour errors – this is also ideal for planetary observation.

You can find all models in the NexStar SLT series here in the shop.
