	Dobsonian Telescope
		A Dobsonian is a reflecting telescope (uses a mirror, not a lens) in the same design as a Newtonian telescope (concave collecting mirror is at the rear of the telescope tube, eyepiece is on the side of tube, up near the front).
		First, a Dobsonian is not computer controlled (a great expense anyway), so you need to figure out where to point it to see things.
		By the way, some people construct their own Dobsonian mount, which is generally just as good as any commerical Dobsonian mount (picture at the top of the page is of someone's homemade Dob).

	How to Use a Dobsonian Reflector Telescope \| eHow.com
		Dobsonian refers to the kind of mount - inexpensive, but cumbersome - on which the telescope sits.
		It moves the telescope on an XY axis, which is to say, up and down and left to right.
		The altazimuth mounting of a Dobsonian reflector requires that you have a map of the night sky in your head, because it will not automatically track the night sky.

	Company Seven \| Orion SkyQuest™ 10" Dobsonian Telescope
		The XT10 is our most popular Dobsonian Reflector among those who desire a manageable telescope with the light gathering and fields of view potential for the observing many of the most popular deep sky objects.
		The Dobsonian telescope consists of an optical tube assembly riding on a wooden alt-azimuth platform.
		Dobsonians are not equatorially mounted and so they are generally moved only by hand.

	The Dobsonian Telescope Book
		The Dobsonian telescope takes its name from the astronomer/philosopher John Dobson, who introduced the concept of inexpensive, large-aperture telescopes to astronomy.
		With the 20-inch (50 centimeter) aperture that the authors recommend for first-time Dobsonian builders, hundreds of globular clusters, thousands of nebulae, and tens of thousands of galaxies are visible through the eyepiece.
		Overall The Dobsonian Telescope is a terrific volume and wonderful accomplishment with little to criticize.

	Dobsonian_mount
		For general purpose use, it's hard to beat a Dobsonian telescope mount on the basis of rigidity, ease of assembly and use, and last of all - cost.
		A with all conventional Dobsonians, this is an alt-azimuth type of mount - so you have to move it in both axes frequently to keep on a target.
		Trawling the 'Net turned up plenty of sites and designs for Dobsonians.
