An ultra-stable, high-performance system for long exposure astrophotography and advanced observation
The Sky-Watcher Explorer 200PDS on HEQ5-R PRO Go-To is designed for demanding enthusiasts looking for a powerful, precise, automated telescope.
It features the excellent optics of the 200P Black Diamondwith two major improvements:
Photographic and visual performance is further enhanced when used with the Sky-Watcher coma corrector (ref. 20233).
💡 Important note: This model features a 58 mm secondary mirrorcompared with 52 mm for the Explorer 200P version, providing a improved field illuminationperfect for large sensor astrophotography.
Visit high-quality parabolic mirrors of the 200PDS eliminate the spherical aberrations typical of short focal length optics.
They perfectly focus the light rays for a high level of efficiency. crisp, high-contrast image, rich in detailboth for observation and photography.
This 200 mm f/5 telescope mounted on a HEQ5-R PRO motorized and steerable is an excellent setup for deep-sky imaging.
Its load-bearing capacity and stability make it ideal for mounting cameras, guidescopes, filter wheels and other accessories.
A true precision tool for uncompromising nights.
With a 200 mm aperture at f/5 and a 1,000 mm focal length, it is primarily an astrophotography instrument: when used with a camera, it is designed to photograph nebulae, galaxies, and clusters, offering a good balance between field of view and detail. For visual observation, it also reveals the Moon, the planets, and the brightest deep-sky objects.
Included eyepiece: 28 mm. With a focal length of 1,000 mm, it provides 36× magnification. To calculate the magnification of an eyepiece, divide the telescope's focal length by the eyepiece's focal length.
The tube weighs about 8.75 kg.
Yes, and with care: in astrophotography, an f/5 open-aperture Newtonian telescope requires precise collimation. A collimation laser simplifies the adjustment process. The Sky-Watcher Collimation Guide (EN) explains the procedure.
Yes: The motorized equatorial mount tracks the movement of the sky, allowing for exposures of the Moon, the planets, and bright deep-sky objects. Its ST-4 autoguiding port then enables longer exposures.
200 mm Newtonian telescope, 9×50 finder scope, 2″ eyepiece holder with 10:1 reduction ratio and 1.25″ / 2″ adapters, 28 mm LET 2″ eyepiece.
No. The Sky-Watcher HEQ5-R Pro mount does not come with a power supply. Required power supply: 9 to 12.6 V DC, 3 A. For home use, we recommend the'Pegasus Astro 12 V 10 A power supply with a 5.5 × 2.1 mm plug : regulated 12.5 V output, high current reserve, and it will later be able to power a Pegasus hub (Pocket Powerbox) for the camera and the anti-fog heaters. Its 12.5 V output remains below the maximum of 12.6 V accepted by the mount.
Here are a few accessories we've selected for this model, depending on your needs.
Recommended diameter: 250 mm. Check the measurement and the mounting.
