it is an alt-adz telescope. So you spin it till it is pointing the right direction, then you tilt it till it is pointing at the right angle.

What is the purpose of a Dobsonian telescope?
The Dobsonian telescope was designed with a large objective diameter to observe very faint deep sky objects. It was originally designed from readily available components to provide a large yet still portable low-cost option for telescope users.
Where can one buy a dobsonian telescope?
Optismart, Amazon and Ebay all sell dobsonian telescopes. They vary in size and price between sites so you should visit each to find exactly what you are looking for.
What are hand-held telescopes called?
hand telescopes monocular binocular Dobsonian rich-field telescope opera glasses spy glass spotting scope
What is the patent number of the reflecting telescope?
The reflecting telescope was invented by Sir Isaac Newton in the early 1600s. This was before there was a patent office, and no patent exists on the reflecting telescope as such. The Dobsonian mount is a popular alt azimuth mount for reflecting telescopes, created by John Dobson in the 1960s. He apparently never applied for a patent for this.
What telescope collects light with a mirror?
The type of telescope is called a reflector. There are multiple subtypes of reflectors like a dobsonian, newtonian, RC, etc. Check out my youtube video on how to work with pictures taken from a telescope. youtu.be/M7-vLeVhM9g

Is it possible to make the telescope from A walk to Remember.if yes then how?
It is possible to make your own Dobsonian telescope. It can be quite costly to do so due to the Pyrex lenses. It is an alt-azimuth Newtonian style scope that collects light.

Luna is the name of Earth's moon (Sol is the sun). Regarding ''Nibiru,'' it's a big hoax. I have a dobsonian telescope and I cannot see it. People will try to convince you that it's true. But there is no scientific evidence of Nibiru.
What type of telescope is placed in observatories?
Many types. The Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton, above San Jose, CA, has a large refracting telescope. Small college onservatories often contain Dobsonian Reflecting Telescopes, and the bigger observatories generally have several of different types. The biggest ones are all reflecting telescopes.
The intrument that scientists use observe planet?
The instrument scientists use to observe the planets is a high powered telescope.
