Product Description

Large aperture parabolic mirror for serious deep sky astronomy, the only way to see fainter objects is light grasp - these popular, affordable and easy to use telescopes are the best way to see galaxies and nebulae. Large apertures not only give great deep sky views but also have more resolving power than smaller instruments, that means more detail visible on the planets.

Now supplied with 12.5mm and 20mm 70-Degree Wide Angle Eyepieces, a 1.25" Adaptor with Brass Compression Ring to prevent marring of your eyepieces, and a Universal Smartphone Camera Adaptor

These instruments offer an incredible aperture-to-price ratio providing affordable access to serious deep sky observing. The Dobsonian mount, popularized by John Dobson in the late 1970’s, is a very simple but effective method of mounting a Newtonian Reflector, based on the alt-azimuth principle. Fast and easy to set up, the Dobsonian mount consists of a box-type mounting which allows the telescope to pivot in altitude, while the box itself is rotated on a base in azimuth. The secret of the design is to correctly balance the optical tube and to use frictional materials, which allow it to move easily when nudged but to stay in position when not. The mount is designed to be driven by hand as opposed to slow motion controls. Sky-Watcher Dobsonians feature a unique patented Tensioner/Carrying handle for easy setup and moving of the instrument.

"The Skyliner 200’s flat-packed base is very easy to build and set up, and comes with excellent instructions.The optics were sharp across 80% of the 1 degree field of view.We were very pleased with the appearance of al the test objects, we even managed to find the Crab Nebula, M81 and M82 in near-full Moonlight, whereas the other scopes were struggling. Under darker skies the Double Cluster had that ‘Wow’ factor when it was centred using the 25mm eyepiece, as did M35. The Pleiades (M45) was just a bit too large to fit in the field of view, but the main central stars looked stunning.Turning to Saturn, the view really took our breath away: we saw five moons, a clear-cut Cassini Division and a colour difference between the A and B rings. Not only that, but Saturn also displayed a prominent belt with this scope planetary detail is certainly not compromised.Fans of deep-sky observing would certainly find the Skyliner satisfying. The Skyliner was a joy to use."

10/10    I ordered this telescope yesterday and less than 24 hours later I was assembling it. Incredibly fast delivery and all in good order. Never had such a good buying a experience with an online retailer.  (17/01/2025) K Johnston - Lanarkshire


10/10  SKYWATCHER CLASSIC 200P DOBSONIAN TELESCOPE  Bought this Dobsonian to replace an old reflector, glad I did because it is far superior in every way. The telescope comes in two parts making it easy to transport to different locations and is not too big that it won't fit in a standard vehicle. Well built and will last a life time.  (28/05/2024) Steve - Fife


10/10  Excellent Purchase  Best price I could find. Ordered 8am Monday, arrived 9am Tuesday. Excellent service. Cannot fault. Telescope was easy to assemble and included all the required tools. Am very happy  (13/08/2023) Stan Clarke - Warrington, Cheshire


10/10  Amazing value for money  Upgrading from a 4inch to 8 inch reflector this instrument from Harrison Telescopes has exceeded all my expectations. Firstly the delivery was very quick, three days from purchase to delivery is quite exceptional. The assembly was easy and set up simple to complete. Highly recommended  (28/05/2023) Ian Smith - North Wales


10/10  Fantastic!  Myself and my twelve year old grandson just needed one of these telescopes. We were going to share but decided on one each! They are brilliant. So easy to use and you can be stargazing and moon watching in minutes. Fantastic service and always quick to reply to queries. Thank you  (30/04/2023) Elaine & Riley - Co. Durham


10/10    Very prompt delivery from Harrison telescopes. is an excellent upgrade from my 120mm refractor ( bought from Harrison in 2017) a solid piece of kit, easily collimated, good views.  (02/04/2023) Brian - Manchester


10/10  Excellent telescoipe  I bought this as a christmas present for my children (and me). I'm very impressed with the quality of both the scope and the mount (I thought the mount might be a bit unstable but it's rock solid). The telescope is easy to put together, has a really clean and easy movement, and gives a great view!  (03/01/2023) Russell - Reading


10/10  Brilliant  First telescope .

10/10  Fantastic Telescope - Fantastic Price  My first 'REAL' telescope and what a breeze to set up and use compared to my old cheap Celestron 114 EQ Mount. I've seen more in 2 weeks I've had this than I did in the 5 years previous. First class customer service. Won't hesitate to use Harrison's again.   (13/01/2020) John - Northumberland


10/10  Great. Telescope  I bought this telescope despite living in a light polluted town, and having serious arthritis, which means I can not drive to a dark skies area. I found it easy to assemble , this telescope is a dream for someone like me, moving across the sky by the small handle is a doddle,   (10/01/2020) Ron cox - Great yarmouth


10/10  Great bit of kit !  My first telescope Lot bigger than it appeared in the catalogue picture - got major grief from the wife. Doddle to set up. Still getting used to it but had some amazing views. Outstanding value for money   (29/03/2019) David Hawkes - West Sussex


10/10  Amazing telescope regardless of the cost   So far I have undertaken 1 quick whizz of the night sky and a more detailed observation of the Moon on a Sunday afternoon. Both have left me amazed and I've fallen in love with Moon all over again. The detail in broad daylight was just brilliant. I can't recommend this telescope highly enough buy it   (20/05/2018) Chris - North Swindon


10/10  Really impressed  Easy to assemble. Only minor adjustment required out the box. Easy to use and very maneuverable. Very happy with it Customer service was absolutely spot on. Will definitely use Harrison's for future purchases.   (28/10/2017) Rob - Nottingham


10/10  Great value powerful telescope that is easy to use  Big collecting aperture helps you to collect a lot of light and makes the images really good. First night set it up outside and had great views of Jupiter and its 4 moons. easy to set up and find Jupiter. look forward to many more nights of planet watching and stargazing.   (21/05/2017) Shaun Gould - Devizes


10/10  Big optics for the money  This was my first telescope, bigger than I imagined but very impressive to use and look through. Could not find it at a lower price and am pleased with my purchase.   (04/01/2016) Nathan P - Biggleswade
