Dobson Sky-Watcher Skyliner-250P Classic - Visual power at your fingertips

A 254 mm Dobson telescope that combines performance, simplicity and excellent value for money.
With its large 254 mm parabolic mirror, the Skyliner 254 captures impressive details of galaxies, nebulae, star clusters and planets. It's the ideal instrument for advanced visual observation, without compromise.

NEW : supplied with two wide-angle eyepieces (12.5 mm and 20 mm - 70°), a 1.25″ adapter with brass clamping ring to prevent scratching your eyepieces, and a universal smartphone adapter - capture the beauty of the sky with your phone!

What Sir Patrick Moore had to say

"I've used a large number of telescopes; some good, some mediocre, some even bad. For me, the Sky-Watcher range is excellent, suitable for all amateurs - and the prices remain very affordable. Outstanding value for money. Use them and enjoy."
- Sir Patrick Moore CBE FRS (1923 - 2012)

A fluid, robust Dobson mount

The principle behind the Dobson mount is simple: smooth, intuitive azimuth movement, without motors or electronics. The whole unit is designed to easily follow a celestial object with the hand, while remaining perfectly stable. Set-up takes just a few minutes.

High-end optics for the deep sky and planets

The primary mirror parabolic treated RAQ™ offers up to 94 % of reflectivity. This enables faithful reproduction of detail, with excellent brightness. Thanks to its 254 mm diameter, this telescope collects 56 % more light than a 200 mm - a real difference on faint objects.

Exemples d’observations (cibles classiques)

  • M42 – Grande nébuleuse d’Orion : très spectaculaire, avec une belle sensation de relief. Sous ciel urbain, on peut parfois deviner une légère nuance de couleur selon les conditions.

  • M57 – Nébuleuse de l’Anneau : supporte très bien les forts grossissements, autour de x250, tout en gardant une image propre.

  • Sagittaire (Lagune, Trifide, etc.) : nébuleuses lumineuses et détaillées quand elles sont bien placées dans le ciel.

  • M27 – Nébuleuse de l’Haltère : très brillante, facile à repérer et particulièrement gratifiante.

  • Planets : toutes les grandes planètes sont accessibles et offrent des observations riches (selon la turbulence et la hauteur sur l’horizon).

  • M13 – Amas globulaire d’Hercule : encaisse très bien le grossissement (~x250) et révèle une superbe granulation.

Jusqu’où peut aller l’instrument (bon ciel + conditions optimales)

  • Double-double de la Lyre : séparation sans difficulté à x250 avec une collimation soignée.

  • M51 – Galaxie du Tourbillon : les bras spiraux commencent à se dessiner lorsque le ciel est bien noir.

  • Dentelles du Cygne (sans filtre) : visibles, mais très délicates — l’exemple typique d’un objet qui récompense un excellent ciel.

  • M31 – Andromède : la bande de poussière peut apparaître dans de bonnes conditions.

  • Jupiter : observation possible d’événements marquants comme les éclipses/occultations de satellites.

  • Saturn : par seeing exceptionnel, on peut pousser jusqu’à x500 et obtenir un niveau de détail impressionnant.
