Skywatcher Explorer 200PDS EQ5 PRO GoTo - 8" f/5 Telescope
The 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 primary mirror.Astrophotographic results obtained with this telescope on Astrobin
Here you can find some astrophotographs made with this telescope model: Link to Astrobin
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:
The EQ5 SkyScan Pro GoTo mount
The stable GoTo mount EQ5 PRO SkyScan offers accurate tracking, autoguiding port and of course precise object positioning. The same GoTo system used in the HEQ5 and EQ6 Pro SynScan mount is used. 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 10 kg. If off-axis guiding is used, it is absolutely sufficient. However, if the use of a guide scope is planned, we recommend the more stable mount HEQ5 SkyScan Pro.
Important note about power supply:
To avoid loss of warranty, please use only the power supplies and mobile supplies recommended by us. Especially simple car batteries or sealed lead-acid batteries can lead to an under-supply, which can then damage the sensitive electronics of the mount. Operating a Skywatcher GoTo mount with a non-proprietary power supply not recommended by us is at your own risk. Thank you for your understanding.

"Gutes Teleskop - auch für Nutzung in der Stadt zu empfehlen. Besseres Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis als ***. Wer mit Astro-Fotografie liebäugelt sollte eine parallaktische Montierung nehmen. Anmerkungen: - Würde zusätzlich Kauf eines Kollimators + eines Filters für Planetenbeobachtung empfehlen - Stromkabel endet in einem Anschluss für Zigarettenanzünder. Für Anschluss an eine Steckdose ist ein anderes Kabel oder ein Adapter nötig (bei uns geht 12V / 2A, im Online-Shop erhältlich, Adapter sind günstiger, Kabel von externen Festplatten gehen manchmal auch) - Aufbauanleitung ist eher knapp gehalten (typisch für Teleskope) - Achtung beim Aufbau: Motor fällt vom Stativ wenn er noch nicht festgeschraubt ist - Achtung beim Aufbau 2: Sucherfernrohr ist manchmal nicht fest. Wir haben es zusätzlich mit Klebestreifen (Duct Tape) befestigt - Tip für Anfänger: Okular ist nicht im Fokus wenn die Verlängerung (liegt bei) nicht genutzt wird (steht nicht in der Anleitung) - Allgemein: Teleskop-Kauf und- Aufbau hat immer einen Hauch von Macgyver. Es geht ... ist aber selten Plug & Play. Es braucht am Anfang oft ca. 3 Versuche. Lohnt sich aber ..."

"Die EQ5 Montierung ist sehr stabil und gut geeignet für die Astrofotografie. Das Mitgelieferte 28mm Okular ist ebenfalls von guter Qualität mit einem breiten Sichtfeld. Alles weitere ist so wie beschrieben. Contra: Die Rohrschellen sind innen mit Filz belegt, was den Tubus schützt, aber das drehen des Tubus, innerhalb der Rohrschellen, trotz selbstgebauter Rotationsrohrschellen extrem erschwert. Die Kameraschraube für die Piggyback Montierung einer DSLR lässt sich nicht richtig fest ziehen, somit kann es passieren das die Kamera kippt, was sehr ärgerlich sein kann. "
