Hi there,

I am new to Astronomy and wish to select a telescope for Planets and Deep Space viewing and may later progress to Astrophotography.

I am planning to install either one of these on to the EQ6 Go-to Mount...

So.. I am just concern which one to choose..... to put on my EQ6 mount... They are the same price...

Hope someone can give me some comments...

Thank You


Guan Sheng GS-880 10" ASDX
250mm x 1250mm

First grade 10" (250mm x 1250mm) Dobsonian reflectors with truly outstanding 1/12 surface wave BK7 mirrors and 2" focusers and 2" to 1.25" adaptors.
Resolving power; 0.49 arc second.
Limiting magnitude; 14.5.

Super Deluxe version includes a right-angle correct image 8 x 50 finderscope, 2" Crayford style microfocuser with 10:1 fine focusing and a 2" to 1.25" adaptor, fan, Premium GSO 6mm, 9mm and 25mm 1.25" Plossl eyepieces - and a bonus SP series 2" eyepiece, too!

Adjustable Super Deluxe (ASDX) models have the same inclusions as Super Deluxe (SDX) models.
Large knurled aluminium side knobs adjust tube tension (our recommendation).


The leaflet included in discontinued GSO Dobsonian style telescope base boxes showing needle roller bearings and steel sheets being incorporated within a rotating base is incorrect. In fact, teflon pads are fitted to those Dobsonian telescopes' bases!

The new Adjustable tension Super Deluxe (ASDX) GSO Dobsonians have an upgraded needle roller bearing rotating base which also incorporates thicker steel plates.
