The company generally manufactures Dobsinian Telescopes that are over six inches in diameter. Dobsonian Telescopes are actually large Newtonian Reflector telescopes that are placed on a simple swiveling mount. The telescope itself features two high-precision mirrors that direct light at the eyepiece. The size of the telescopes and quality of the mirrors make them impractical for use by hobbyists.
