The 8-inch for connoisseurs: friction, fine focus, and 2-inch overview!
The Omegon ProDob 203/1200 DOB II Deluxe is the 8-inch for those who want more than the basics. The adjustable friction system, the 1:10 dual-speed focuser, and the included SWA 32 mm wide-angle eyepiece make long and comfortable observing at high magnification a matter of course.



203 mm optics with fan
The 203 mm parabolic mirror with built-in fan cools quickly and then shows its full sharpness. With the SWA 32mm eyepiece, you observe at 38x with a wide field of view; practical use is up to approximately 350x, depending on the atmosphere.

Follow without jolts
The deluxe friction and bearing system is the major difference compared to standard Dobsonians: the axes move with adjustable resistance, ensuring that the image stays precisely where you put it, even at high magnification and with heavy eyepieces. The 2-inch Crayford focuser with 1:10 micro-focus focuses down to the micrometer, and the included SWA 32 mm 2-inch wide-angle eyepiece immediately delivers a generous overview image. The Deluxe LED finder projects a red dot onto the sky for quick targeting.

- Built-in main mirror fan
- Wooden rocker box with eyepiece holder

For whom yes, for whom no
For: observers who want to look at high magnification for a long and comfortable time; this friction system is made for that.
