The 200mm-diameter Dobson Skyliner offers impressive brightness and sharp images of both deep-sky objects and planets. Easy to mount, robust and stable, it's a benchmark in its class.
NEW : supplied with two wide-angle eyepieces (12.5 mm and 20 mm - 70° field of view), a 1.25″ adapter with brass clamping ring, and a universal smartphone adapter! Capture the beauty of the sky in seconds.
"The Skyliner 200 base is very easy to assemble thanks to clear instructions... The optics were sharp on 80 % of the one-degree field... We observed the Crab Nebula, M81 and M82 despite the almost full light of the Moon - while other telescopes struggled. Under dark skies, objects like the Double Cluster and M35 were simply breathtaking with the 25 mm eyepiece. Saturn took our breath away: five visible moons, a well-marked Cassini division, and even a color difference between the A and B rings. This telescope really reveals planetary detail. Deep-sky enthusiasts will be delighted... The Skyliner is a real pleasure to use."

Inspired by John Dobson's concept, this simple azimuth mount is designed for fluid, hand-held operation. The tube pivots on its vertical and horizontal axis thanks to an optimized friction system that enables smooth, precise movement without loss of stability. Assembly takes just a few minutes, with no need for complex tools.
The Skyliner 200 is equipped with a primary mirror parabolic RAQ™ (Radiant Aluminum Quartz) treated with reflectivity up to 94 %. This treatment guarantees excellent durability and consistent performance, even after years of use. Images are sharp, high-contrast and rich in detail.
