Visit Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-200P EQ5, is a high-performance Newton telescope designed for intermediate to advanced astronomers, yet accessible to the most demanding beginners. Thanks to its large 200 mm, It offers exceptional light-gathering capacity, enabling you to observe faint celestial objects with remarkable clarity. Compared to a 150 mm model, it captures up to 77 % additional light, revealing details invisible with more modest instruments.
With a focal length of 1000 mm and a focal ratio of f/5, This telescope combines a wide field of view with excellent resolution. It excels at observing the Moon and planets, as well as nebulae, galaxies, star clusters and double stars. Its versatility makes it the ideal instrument for in-depth exploration of the universe.
The Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-200P's parabolic primary mirror ensures optimum correction of optical aberrations, guaranteeing sharp, high-contrast images. Combined with a high-quality secondary mirror, it allows you to fully exploit the potential of its 200 mm diameter.
The treatment Radiant™ Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™) applied to optical surfaces offers reflectivity up to 94 %, significantly improving image brightness. This coating also ensures excellent resistance over time, for long-lasting performance.
Ultra-thin secondary mirror supports (0.5 mm) reduce diffraction and enhance contrast, which is particularly appreciated in planetary and deep-sky observation.
The telescope is supplied with two eyepieces of 25 mm and 10 mm, which enables magnifications of x40, x80, x100 and x200 thanks to the included x2 Barlow lens. Theoretical maximum capacity x400, ideal for observing the fine details of planets and the lunar surface when conditions are optimal.
Thanks to its large aperture, deep-sky objects appear with an impressive wealth of detail: galaxies reveal their structures, nebulae gain in contrast and star clusters become spectacular.
The Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-200P is supplied with the EQ5 Deluxe equatorial mount, renowned for its robustness and precision. Once correctly set up thanks to its integrated polar finder support, it can easily follow celestial objects in their apparent movement using its slow-motion controls.
This mount is ideal for prolonged observations, and is also an excellent basis for starting out in astrophotography. Its stability is ensured by a 1.75” stainless steel tripod”, The new design guarantees excellent resistance to vibration.
The integrated accessory tray adds extra convenience, keeping all your accessories close at hand during your observation sessions.
The eyepiece holder Dual-Fit 1.25”/2” offers great flexibility, enabling the use of a wide range of eyepieces and accessories. This compatibility is ideal for users wishing to upgrade their equipment.
Focusing is smooth and precise, essential for making the most of the telescope's optical quality. Whether for visual observation or imaging, you benefit from optimum comfort.
The Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-200P EQ5 is equipped with a direct connection for SLR cameras, It's easy to capture images of the Moon, planets and deep sky objects. Combined with optional motorization, it becomes an excellent tool for advanced astrophotography.
Its wide aperture and well-balanced focal length produce bright, detailed images, ideal for enthusiasts who want to take their photography to the next level.
The researcher 9×50 included makes it easy to locate celestial objects. Its brightness and magnification make it possible to locate targets quickly, even in star-rich areas.
Robust, precise and scalable, this telescope is designed to offer a comfortable and immersive observing experience, suitable for long sessions under the night sky.
