Hardin is less notable for individual telescopes than for the quality of its optics. The company specializes in manufacturing professional grade mirrors and lenses. These optics are featured in some large scale, research grade telescopes, but they also appear in Hardin's own line of Dobsinian Reflector telescopes. Dobsinian Reflector telescopes rely on a pair of finely ground mirrors to direct light to the eyepiece. The primary mirror sits at the bottom of the telescope and collects light, which is then reflected in to the secondary mirror and then the eyepiece. Hardin's mirrors are some of the best in the industry, making their Dobsinian telescopes exceptional in quality.
