Powerful Newton for deep sky
The Sky-Watcher Explorer-200P opens up a world of detail that smaller telescopes miss. With a 200 mm main mirror, you 78% capture more light than with a 150 mm instrument. So you can see the spiral arms of galaxies and subtle structures in nebulae. Globular clusters such as M13 in Hercules show their smallest details. The parabolic mirror is diffraction-limited, so stars and planets remain sharp and contrasty even at higher magnifications.
Fast and versatile optics
This Newtonian is an f/5 ‘fast’ telescope, ideal for astrophotography. The 2" Crayford focuser with 1:10 fine adjustment makes precise focusing easy. You can utilize the maximum field of view of 2" eyepieces. The thin secondary mirror vanes and small secondary mirror increase contrast, making planets bright and sharp. The black tube and finder give the telescope a stylish appearance.
HEQ-5 Pro GoTo mount
The HEQ-5 Pro GoTo turns your telescope into a precision instrument. Easily point it at the pole star with the built-in pole finder. The electric tracking motors on both axes track objects automatically. This keeps your observation stable, even at high magnifications or astrophotography. The sturdy steel tripod dampens vibrations and provides a stable base.
Supplied ready to use and complete
The telescope comes with a 28mm 2" eyepiece, 9x50 finderscope, dovetail, and 2 5.1kg counterweights. Within minutes, your telescope is ready for the night sky. With the SynScan hand controller, you can easily navigate to 42,000 objects in the database.
