Sky-Watcher Explorer 200PDS - 200 mm Newton telescope optimized for astrophotography

A bright, precise telescope for demanding observers and ambitious astrophotographers

Visit Sky-Watcher Explorer 200PDS is an improved version of the popular Explorer-200P Black Diamond.
It uses the same 200 mm parabolic optics but incorporates two essential improvements:

  • Crayford 2″ 10:1 gear reduction eyepiece holder for extremely fine, stable focusing, ideal for imaging.
  • Slightly shortened tube for in-focus focusing with SLR or dedicated camera.

For a perfectly edge-corrected field, the 200PDS can be used with the Sky-Watcher coma corrector (product code 20233),
significantly improving the sharpness of stars throughout the image.
