    I think you’re mixing up names. Dobson is the name of the mount, and since they’re most commonly used on Newtonians, it’s kind of become shorthand. My 5" and 12" are both Newtonian reflectors on Dobson mounts.

    Maybe you’re thinking of a Schmidt Cassegrain?

      I honestly don’t remember, it’s been so long since I’ve been into telescopes. But you obviously know your stuff, so you’re right.
