Omegon Dobson Telescope ProDob N 304/1500 DOB II with Radiant New Item description:
Follow the sky even easier. Even better observing. Omegon ProDob with deluxe equipment. With the Omegon Pro Dobson telescopes the observation night succeeds even better. Because once you have found your object, you should enjoy it extensively. This means: Observing for a long time, even with higher magnifications. But not all Dobson telescopes can be tracked so easily. Sometimes it jerks. This telescope does that completely different. And better.
The advantages at a glance:
Sensitive focusing: 2" Crayford focuser with 1.25" adapter and 1:10 reduction ratio Friction system: buttery smooth and precise movement Needle bearing: smooth and precise movement in azimuth - even with only one finger Main mirror - for brighter images: 94% Enhanced Coating Cool down faster - observe faster: Fan for the primary mirror
Deluxe friction system The new friction system makes accurate adjustment and tracking of celestial objects even easier. Instead of Teflon pads, the axes are equipped with needle bearings in the azimuth and with a ball bearing system in the elevation axis. This means that you now navigate the telescope more easily and it follows your movement butter smoothly in every direction. This is your benefit: Keep celestial objects in your field of view even at high magnification. An invaluable advantage! The friction can be adjusted comfortably via two hand rollers made of aluminum and adjusted to suit your needs.
Center of gravity more adjustable Another advantage of the friction system: The center of gravity of the telescope is better adjustable. Especially if you use a heavy eyepiece: There it can quickly happen that the system is no longer balanced and tilts to one side.
Main mirror with 94% mirroring for bright images A Dobsonian telescope is an expert for deep sky observations. Lots of contrast, details and bright images belong to a very good telescope, like the stars to the sky. This is exactly what the parabolic primary mirror delivers. With the 94% "Enhanced Coating" (the coating of the mirror surface) you enjoy ultra-bright images. And with it, even DeepSky objects at the edge of perception are still yours.
Observe faster: Main Mirror Fan Just a quiet unobtrusive hum, but a big effect: The integrated 12V fan ensures up to 50% faster cooling of the main mirror. This allows your telescope to reach optimal imaging quality faster. You don't have to wait any longer.
2" Crayford focuser Use 1.25" or the large 2" eyepieces for wonderful overview observations. Thanks to the ball bearings, you'll focus your object smoothly as butter.
The Dobsonian advantage: easy and fast setup What is the advantage of this type of construction? A Dobsonian telescope consists of only two parts. This means that you can set it up in a very short time. In addition, it is cheaper than a comparable telescope on a parallactic mount. The focus is on enjoying visual observation. Discover the sky: it is incredible what you can see with your own eyes.
