Skywatcher Explorer 200PDS HEQ5 PRO GoTo - 8" F/5 Telescope

The new Skywatcher Explorer 200PDS offers to essential advantages for astro photography: A 2" Crayford focuser with 1:10 dual speed transmission and, due to the slightly shortened tube, enough back focus for nearly every camera on the market. Of course the system is diffraction-limited and has a parabolic main mirror.

The 2" dual-speed Crayford focuser:

The new 2" focuser offers precise focusing ability for tack-sharp astro photos. The mechanical stiffness is very good. Even cameras with 2 kg of weight are held solidly. A 1.25" reducer is included.

The Explorer-200PDS advantages:

diffraction-limited and parabolized optical system for sharp and contrasty imaging / observation

2" Crayford focuser with 1:10 dual speed transmission and female M54 thread - ideal for astro photography

sufficient back focus for all popular cameras

solid metal tube

well dimensioned secondary mirror (58 mm minor axis) for good field illumination

The HEQ5 SynScan Pro GoTo mount

The stable GoTo mount HEQ5 PRO SynScan offers accurate tracking, autoguiding port and of course precise object positioning. It allows the user to set up any object or start a guided tour of the night sky at the touch of a button. The extensive database contains over 42,900 objects of the night sky.

The mount is suitable for telescopes up to approximately 12 kg, so there are still reserves for cameras, but also for a guiding scope.
