Building of the success of the DBS114, I now present the DBS150! This is a mostly 3D Printed Newtonian style reflecting telescope specifically designed for long exposure imaging. It’s very similar in construction to the DBS114, but larger and incorporates a few additional features.
Notes:
- This is a 150mm diameter, 600mm focal length, f/4 Astrograph style Newtonian Reflector Telescope
- Designed specifically for deep sky astrophotography
- Relatively lightweight, easy and inexpensive to construct
- A Mirror set and Focuser are required to complete
- BoM, and STEP documents included in the Google Drive Share
