Skywatcher - Explorer-200PDS Dual-Speed Newtonian with EQ-5 Mount
200mm (8”) f/5 Parabolic Dual-Speed Newtonian Reflector
The Optics
The new Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-200PDS 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.
Even better performance for astrophotography and visual use can be achieved when used in combination with Sky-Watcher’s Newtonian coma corrector (SKY-20233)
The Mount
The very sturdy EQ5 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. It also features engraved aluminium setting
circles and manual slow motion tracking controls. An optional polarscope
is available for aiding in polar alignment. Optional single-axis and
dual-axis D.C. motor drives can be installed for auto-tracking purposes.
