Description
Explore high-contrast lunar craters and distant deep-sky nebulae with the Skywatcher Dobson N 150/1200 Skyliner Classic DOB 6-inch parabolic Newtonian telescope system. Designed with an f/7.8 focal ratio, this 153mm (6.02 in) aperture telescope features a 1200mm focal length, delivering 0.76 arcseconds Dawes resolving power and reaching magnitude 13.6 for classical visual astronomy.
The Skywatcher Dobson N 150/1200 Skyliner Classic DOB features a parabolic primary mirror crafted from low-expansion borosilicate glass, coated with 94% reflective aluminum and a protective silicon dioxide (SiO2) layer. Its 1140mm solid metal tube incorporates a minimal 22.6% central obstruction and a 2-inch rack-and-pinion focuser with a 1.25-inch adapter. Mounted on a floor-standing wooden rocker box with Teflon bearings and tension control handles, the 5.78 kg OTA ensures silky-smooth manual tracking.
Key Features of Skywatcher Dobson N 150/1200 Skyliner Classic DOB
Built for high-contrast planetary viewing and deep-sky exploration, this 6-inch Sky-Watcher Skyliner Classic Dobsonian pairs a parabolic borosilicate mirror with a floor-standing rocker box. Its long f/7.8 focal layout and minimal central obstruction deliver razor-sharp views of lunar rilles and bright galaxies.
- 153mm (6.02 in) aperture with 1200mm focal length and balanced f/7.8 focal ratio
- Precision parabolic primary mirror made from low-expansion borosilicate glass
- 94% reflective aluminum optical coatings with protective silicon dioxide overcoat
- Small 22.6% secondary obstruction by diameter (5.1% by area) for high contrast
- 2-inch rack-and-pinion focuser with step-down 1.25-inch reduction adapter
- Floor-standing wooden Dobsonian base with Teflon bearings and azimuth roller track
- Side altitude bearings with patented tension control handles
- 6×30 optical finderscope and Super 25mm and 10mm eyepieces included
Long-Focus Parabolic Optics & Minimal Obstruction
The elongated 1200mm focal length limits secondary mirror obstruction to just 22.6% by diameter, maximizing image contrast across planetary disks and globular clusters. Featuring a 2-inch focuser, this Sky-Watcher Dobsonian supports visual magnifications from 21.9x up to 306x.
Floor-Standing Rocker Box & Tension Control Handles
Effortless manual nudging is central to the Skyliner Dobsonian experience. The Skyliner 150P features a ground rocker base equipped with Teflon pads and an azimuth roller track for fluid rotation. Its patented side tension control handles let observers adjust altitude friction, preventing tube sag when swapping heavy eyepieces.
- Floor-standing wooden Dobsonian base with smooth Teflon altitude and azimuth bearings
- Patented side tension control handles for customizable altitude friction
- 6×30 optical finderscope paired with Super 25mm and 10mm visual eyepieces
Sky-Watcher Skyliner Classic Series Warranty
The Skywatcher Dobson N 150/1200 Skyliner Classic DOB is backed by a 2-year limited warranty against material and manufacturing defects. The complete factory package contains the 150mm solid tube OTA, ground Dobsonian base with tension control, 6×30 optical finderscope, 2-inch to 1.25-inch adapter, and Super 25mm and 10mm eyepieces.
