Product description

More about the series SkyQuest...

This set consists of:

The Orion SkyQuest telescope:

The optics of this Newtonian reflector telescope are of Orion's customary high quality. The soda lime glass mirror is supplied with high-quality aluminium and silicon dioxide coatings. Focusing on models up to 150mm aperture is via a 1.25" rack-and-pinion drive, and from 203mm aperture a 2" Crayford focuser is used.

The Dobsonian base turns on smoothly running Teflon bearings, so allowing jerk-free, effortless movement of the telescope. The tube holds position as it is suspended in perfect balance. The components of the telescope are both easy to handle and light; the telescope is eminently portable and can be assembled in just a few steps and without specialist knowledge or tools. The entire construction distinguishes itself by its insensitivity to wind and its stability.

Included in delivery of Dobsonian Orion N 203/1200:


  • OTA with 203mm aperture and 1200mm focal length
  • Crayford focuser (2")
  • eyepiece adapter 2"- 1.25"
  • SPL 25mm eyepiece (1.25")
  • red dot finder
  • Dobsonian mount with Teflon bearings

It not only matters which telescope you buy but also where you buy it. Our additional services:

  • We are a leading telescope dealer and know the devices we sell. Our customer service team will gladly help you after your purchase if you have problems with assembly or operation.
  • We provide a copy of the 80-page Telescope ABC beginners handbook with every telescope.

Super télescope

Review by Blob on 01.05.2020 17:05:28

( 5 / 5 )

Après plusieur mois de recherche et de vidéo regardé, mon choix s'est porté sur un ce modèle et je ne le regrette pas .
Notice en anglais mais facile à trouvé en français sur le net.
Facilité de montage et réglage, la nuit venu mon télescope braqué sur la lune et là super je suis resté fasciné par les détail.
Depuis le mauvais temps donc vivement les nuit étoilé, je recommende ce télescope qui a un prix correct.
Par contre manqué le livret ( télescope basics,guide du débutant ),qui j'espère me sera envoyé car je vais le signalé
Sincèrement très comptant de se télescope orion skyquest xt8 classic.
