The Saxon 300DS Astrophotography Newtonian Reflector Telescope - OTA is great for DSO and planetary imaging.  The saxon 300DS Astrophotography Newtonian Reflector Telescope features a 300mm (12") aperture with 1500mm focal length (f/5) which is great for planetary and DSO imaging and viewing.  For the keen astronomer, the dual-speed focuser ensures that you can achieve optimal focus by being able to adjust both a coarse and fine focus 10:1. Compared to standard rack & pinion and crayford focusers, this delivers sharper views and images as you can achieve a better focal point.
