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.”
Find the full test report in English here.
Are you ready for your own discoveries in the night sky? Then let the Omegon Advanced X N 152mm Dobson inspire you!

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.

Dobsonian telescopes are simple in design and intuitive to use. They are therefore particularly popular with newcomers to astronomy and occasional observers. But experienced amateur astronomers also love this type of telescope, as the simple design allows the use of a large mirror at a fair price.
The traditional Bresser company now offers a Dobsonian telescope with a 305 millimetre mirror diameter in its Messier series: N 305/1525 Messier Hexafoc
This model also shares the special advantages of the Dobsonian telescopes in the Messier series:
- Newtonian optics with parabolic primary mirror
- Large altitude wheels and azimuthal needle bearing for movements without jerking
- Tube with tube clamps: The telescope can be finely balanced. It is even possible to use the optics on a different mount.
- The supporting box can be assembled in just a few minutes using metal furniture connectors.
- A suitable filter for observing the sun is already included in the scope of delivery.
The tube of the largest model N 305/1525 Messier Hexafoc is made of fiberglass and is therefore relatively easy to transport.
You can find more information and the current price for this 12-inch telescope here in the shop.

The NexStar Evolution 5 is even more compact and less expensive than the other models in this series. However, it has everything that characterises a NexStar Evolution telescope:
- High-quality optics in a Schmidt-Cassegrain design. This design is compact, closed and very easy to use. The long focal length is ideal for observing and photographing the moon and planets.
- The telescope is equipped with motors and computer control (“GoTo”). This means that even beginners can find all attractive celestial objects.
- The telescope can be controlled with the hand controller or via smartphone and the SkyPortal app from Celestron. To do this, the telescope generates a Wi-Fi signal so that you can connect your smartphone to the telescope.
- The NexStar-Evolution has an integrated lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO4) with a battery life of approx. 10 hours.
- The telescope can be disassembled into three parts. This makes it easy to transport and fits in any car boot.
