The SkyWatcher Explorer 200PDS Parabolic Newtonian Reflector incorporates the same superb mirror set as the Explorer-200P Black Diamond Series, but with two significant advantages. A Dual-Speed 10:1 ratio focuser is now included for excellent focusing precision. Also the tube length has been slightly shortened to optimise performance for prime-focus photography. Combined with the EQ5 PRO Goto mount and tripod this complete advanced telescope package excells in astro imaging and visual applications.
Includes 9x50 finder, 28mm 2" Eyepiece, Dual speed focuser and Goto mount & Tripod!
Tour the night sky at the touch of a button with an extensive object database - the very sturdy EQ5 SynScan GOTO Equatorial mount provides excellent precision and stability and a host of other useful features for the serious astronomer. The mount rests firmly on a large, adjustable stainless steel pipe tripod with accessory tray. Supplied complete with a bubble level, latitude adjuster with micrometer scale and an azimuth polar-alignment adjuster.
Even better performance for astro-photography and visual use can be achieved when used in combination with Sky-Watcher's Newtonian coma corrector (Prod.Code 20233)
