Sky highlight for early risers: The planetary parade in August 2025

July 21 2025, Marcus Schenk

Between August 15 and 31, the morning sky puts on its best show: Six planets line up in a row. A celestial highlight you shouldn’t miss. Especially great for beginners: four of them are visible to the naked eye, and the others can often be spotted with just binoculars or a small telescope.

Venus and Jupiter are competing in brightness. In mid-August, they appear close together, with their closest encounter happening on the 12th. Saturn shines with a steady golden-yellow glow, while Mercury is best seen around August 20. With binoculars, you can also spot Uranus and Neptune. If you have a telescope, you’ll be able to see even more detail.

The best time to observe: in the morning, about 1 to 1.5 hours before sunrise. With a bit of luck, you might also catch some shooting stars, as the Perseids are also active.
So grab your binoculars, align your telescope, and enjoy the spectacle while it’s visible in the sky.

Telescopes, a pair of binoculars or a star field viewer and other suitable accessories for your observation are of course available from us – feel free to browse through our products. Thanks to our fast shipping, in-stock items will arrive at your home within a few days.

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.”

Are you ready for your own discoveries in the night sky? Then let the Omegon Advanced X N 152mm Dobson inspire you!
