Bushnell ARES Telescopes - Dobsonian Mount Newtonian Reflector Telescopes

Bushnell DOB Telescopes offer deep-sky power at an affordable price. These Bushnell Telescopes are based on the innovative Dobsonian telescope design, in use by amatuer astronomers for nearly 50 years. Boasting powerful magnification and large aperature, the Bushnell Dobsonians are also lightweight, compact and easy to transport. Choose from a truss-tube telescope design or a solid-tube design - either way you'll get a sturdy and powerful Newtonian Reflector telescope that's easy to load up for transport to dark sky observation sites, and can be quickly set up by a single person. The large aperature gives the Bushnell DOB Telescopes generous light-gathering capability, ideal for observing deep sky objects like galaxies and star clusters. The Dobsonian telescope mount gives these Newtonian telescopes a rock-solid stability. You can adjust the position of your Bushnell DOB Telescope without the annoyance of residual shake. Whether you're just getting started in amateur astronomy, or you want to step up from a beginner's level to more advanced observation without breaking the bank, the DOB Telescope series from Bushnell is an ideal choice.

The Bushnell ARES Telescopes are named for NASA's Ares rocket, named for the Greek god associated with the planet Mars. The ARES rocket is planned to return humans to the moon and eventually take them to Mars and other more distant destinations.
