They are usually less expensive for any given objective diameter (or aperture) than comparable quality telescopes of other types. A short focal ratio can be more easily obtained, leading to wider field of view. The difference between Newtonian and Dobsonian: Basically, the optical performance on Newtonian and Dobsonian is almost the same; however, the design of backfocus between them
