ODVX10 Orion Dobson 250mm aperture / 1200mm focal length

250mm f4.8 Dobson - focal length 1200mm

The compact 10 "Dobson - from 10" opening begins for many star friends the "Deep Sky See". Spiral arms of galaxies, structures in planetary mists are visible. Nevertheless, this device can easily be placed on the back seat of a passenger car. Nevertheless, the aperture ratio of f / 4.8 is still moderate as far as the adjustment and selection of the eyepiece is concerned.

Equipment

The Dobson is delivered with an 8x50 viewfinder (straight-line). The eyepiece extension is spherical and accommodates 2 "and 1.25" eyepieces. There are always two Plössl eyepieces (25mm and 10mm focal length)

The 2 "Crayford Eyepiece Extractor of the Deluxe Dobsons

Each Orion Dobson Deluxe comes with an accurate 2 "Crayford eyepiece eyepiece, with a 1.25" eyepiece reduction. The extension is solidly made of metal and allows an exact and, above all, shake-free focus. With an overall height of about 50mm, the pull-out is particularly short-lasting and allows a relatively small catching mirror and thus a high sharpness performance of the devices.

Also available is a 1:10 micro-kit for the pull-out

We offer the ORION Dobsons only in the DELUXE version:

The reflectivity of the mirrors

Each mirror of the Orion Dobsons Deluxe is equipped with a forced mirror layer with 97% reflection. This results in a much brighter picture compared to normal mirrored systems. You gain about an inch of aperture in the light collection.

The quality of the main mirror

ORION attaches particular importance to the quality of the mirrors. Each mirror of the Dobsons Deluxe has a guaranteed accuracy of 1/6 Lambda p / v wave. A STREHL value of better than 0.95 is also guaranteed. A Zygo test report with evaluation is included with each device.


Each ORION Dobson is delivered with a computer-optimized 9-point skin mirror cell

What is optional with the manufacturer is always with us. The computer-optimized main mirror cell offers a very stable support.

The main mirror is relaxed, so you can enjoy the high optical quality, which is guaranteed, also in practice. It goes without saying that the main and focal mirror cells are fully adjustable.



The advantages of the Dobson telescopes from Orion

For decades, Dobson telescopes have enjoyed increasing popularity among amateur astronomers. No device is as easy to handle as a Dobson telescope. The set-up is also simple and yet very stable.

Dobson telescopes from Orion offer decisive advantages

- Orion's Dobson units are stored in pipe clamps. This makes it easy to rotate and move the optics. They always have the optimum viewing position and a perfect balance.

- Every Dobson of Orion can be strapped to a parallactic mount with practically no effort. The pipe clamps are already available. Thus, within a few minutes, a Dobson can become a powerful device for astrophotography.

- The Dobson telescopes from Orion are uncompromising light-weight buildings, even the 16 "Dobson can still be moved by one person, but the accuracy and mechanical accuracy are not sacrificed.

The Rockerbox made of aluminum

Especially the Rocker Box made of aluminum is a special advantage. They are stiffer than most conventional rocker boxes made of wood. Nevertheless, the weight is significantly lower.

- Due to the reduced dead weight, the rocker boxes are clearly transportable.

- Within a few minutes, you can completely disassemble and flatten the Rockerbox.

- Due to the Teflon mounting a particularly sensitive adjustment is given, even at the highest magnifications you get the object always exactly centered.

- Due to the particularly high height wheels, a good and even height adjustment is given.
