Skywatcher MN 190/1000 Maksutov-Newton Telescope Explorer DS Pro OTA

Powerful images with high accuracy

The Skywatcher MN 190/1000 gives you clear, tight images without distortion. You'll use it for both visual viewing and serious astrophotography. The Maksutov-Newton optics correct errors automatically, giving you a calm and sharp image across the entire field. So you need to tweak less and see results faster.

Deep, high-contrast sky images

With the 190 mm aperture, you catch a lot of light. That means you see more detail in nebulae, star clusters and distant galaxies. The closed tube keeps the air in the tube stable, so your image doesn't “dance.” The meniscus lens prevents unwanted light aberration. As a result, you get bright stars all the way to the edge of the image, which is immediately noticeable when you photograph.

Made for astrophotography

This telescope was built with photographers in mind. The correction is so good that you keep stars round even at long exposures. No coma, no distorted edges. The f/5.3 ratio makes exposure times shorter, so you get good results faster. The Crayford focuser lets you focus very precisely, even with a heavy camera. Your photos will be tighter, with more detail and less noise.

Comfortable viewing, ready to use immediately

The telescope remains stable, and the sharp images make longer observations enjoyable. The viewfinder helps you find objects quickly. The whole thing feels sturdy and reliable. You immediately sense that the design is meant for simplicity as well as quality.
