Catadioptric Newtonian Dobsonian, Newtonian, Or Catadioptric?

Dobsonian, Newtonian, or Catadioptric? - catadioptric newtonian

You know, I see a lot of questions on "What kind of telescope should I buy?" I see a lot of answers "Buying a Dobsonian, I really, really do not agree with it and what are the reasons:

Goto no functions are available. Find what you want is fully manual without the scope.

Most people who have just begun, and interesting things to see in the beautiful starry sky. It is this experience that excites want to see and learn more about astronomy. You do not want to start working hard to find something and you do not experience the frustration of being able to find what you are looking for. It's faster, "interest" murderer "I can imagine for beginners. I have people with more than 20 years of experience have seen frustrated trying to hop star, sometimes spending 15-30 minutes trying to find something. How do you think a beginner trying to jump Fare?

Also, because the scope is not able to track objects in the person will alwaysMount and scope to keep objects in sight for the duration instead of enjoying it. If fever and back, I saw the object moves out of sight. Then there's the portability factor. Can you imagine hauling up a Dobsonian scope up and down three or four flights of stairs? This type of order also kills the interest.

Thus, even though they are increasingly Apeture for a lot of money, what if your interest is, we extinguished by frustration?

I believe that Dobson is not for beginners.

So, what do you think?
