Sky-Watcher Explorer-190MN DS-PRO on EQ6-R Pro - The ultimate tool for demanding astrophotographers

When optical performance rhymes with versatility and ingenious design, the result is the Sky-Watcher Explorer-190MN DS-PRO, a Maksutov-Newtonian telescope designed from the outset for enlightened amateurs and deep-sky photographers. This unique tube combines the contrast and optical correction of a Maksutov with the light gathering and mechanical simplicity of a Newton, creating a winning formula particularly suited to modern imaging.

Thanks to its 190 mm primary mirror and its 1000 mm focal length (f/5.26), this telescope offers a resolution equivalent to that of an apochromatic telescope of the same diameter, chromatism-free, with a perfectly flat field and stars that are sharp right to the edge. The Schott glass used for the front corrector guarantees impeccable transparency and stability, while the mirror in Pyrex® limits heat-up time.

The steel tube is reinforced with 5 internal baffles with sharp edges, The lens is equipped with a special "anti-reflective" coating, effectively blocking stray reflections to maximize contrast. The whole unit rests on an eyepiece holder 2-inch double-speed Crayford (10:1), This smooth-running lens is ideal for precise focus in both visual and photographic applications.
