Professional Dobson Telescope N 406/1850 DOB

When the Whirlpool Galaxy looks as clear as a photograph through the eyepiece, when you can see tiny individual details, when globular clusters are resolved at their very centers, or if you can even see colors in the Orion Nebula, then you know that you will never, ever give up your Omegon 16" Dobsonian telescope!

Enjoy fantastic viewing with this telescope - see things you would never imagine seeing with a smaller telescope.

Omegon ProDob with deluxe equipment: follow the night sky more easily for better observation.

Observing the night sky is made easier with OmegonPro Dobsonian telescopes. Once you have located the object, you should be able to enjoy observing it. That means observing for long periods, even at higher magnifications. But not all Dobsonian telescopes are so easy to track objects – they sometimes jerk around. However, this top telescope is completely different!

The advantages in a nutshell

• Fine Focus: 2" Crayford focuser with 1.25" adapter and 1:10 fine focus
• Omegon SWA 32 mm, 2” eyepiece already included
• Friction system: buttery smooth precision movement
• Needle bearings: smooth and precise movement in azimuth, even using just one finger!
• The main mirror has an enhanced 94% coating for a brighter image.
• Faster cooling to start observing sooner: main mirror fan

Deluxe Friction System

The new friction system makes precise positioning and tracking of astronomical objects even easier. Instead of cheaper Teflon pads, the axes are equipped with needle bearings on the azimuth axis and ball bearings on the altitude axis. This allows you to navigate the telescope much more easily and it will follow your inputs "as smooth as butter" in any direction. The advantage is that you can keep astronomical objects in the field of view much easier, even at high magnification - an advantage that cannot be underestimated! The friction adjustment can be easily adjusted to suit your needs using two aluminium hand controls.

Easier to adjust focus

Another advantage of the friction system is that the telescope's center of gravity is more adjustable, which avoids the situation, when using a heavy eyepiece, where the system may become unbalanced and tip to one side.

Main mirror with 94% reflective coating for brighter images

A Dobsonian telescope is an expert in deep sky observation. High contrast, a wealth of visible detail and a bright image are hallmarks of an excellent telescope, just as the stars belong in the night sky, and this is exactly what the parabolic main mirror offers you. The 94% "enhanced coating" on the mirror means you can enjoy ultra-bright images and even allows you to distinguish deep sky objects at the limits of perception.

Start observing faster: main mirror fan

Just a quiet, discreet hum, but with a big effect: the built-in 12V fan means your main mirror cools down 50% faster. This allows your telescope to reach optimal image quality more quickly. So you don't have to wait so long anymore.

2" Crayford Focuser

Use 1.25" or larger 2" eyepieces for amazing visual observation. Ball bearings allow you to focus on objects smoothly.

It can be disassembled for easy transport.

The Omegon 16" Dobsonian telescope uses a truss tube design: three robust aluminium profiles are used to connect the primary mirror assembly to the secondary mirror assembly, saving weight and allowing easy transport by car.

The advantage of the Dobson telescope: quick and easy assembly

What is the advantage of this design? A Dobsonian telescope consists of just two parts, which can be assembled in the blink of an eye. It is also much cheaper than a comparable sized telescope with an equatorial mount. Its main use is for visual observation. Discover the night sky – it is amazing what you can see with your own eyes.
