Sky-Watcher 190 Maksutov-Newton + HEQ5-R Pro - The apochromatic mirror telescope<\/h3>\n

Visit Sky-Watcher Explorer-190MN DS-PRO<\/strong> is a real gem for demanding astrophotographers. This Maksutov-Newton<\/strong> combines the high resolution of Newtonian reflectors with the exceptional correction of Maksutov systems, to produce images of spectacular flatness and contrast, worthy of an apochromatic refractor... but with a 190 mm mirror.<\/p>\n

Designed for deep-sky imaging enthusiasts, this optical tube features a exceptional field correction<\/strong> over the entire sensor surface. Stars remain punctual right to the edge, without aberrations or false colors. The optics incorporate a Schott glass front element<\/strong>renowned worldwide for its precision imaging performance. The primary mirror is made of Pyrex\u00ae with low thermal expansion<\/strong>This guarantees rapid optical stability, even after large temperature swings.<\/p>\n

The rolled steel tube is mechanically robust, incorporating five internal baffles with sharp edges<\/strong> to eliminate unwanted reflections and maximize contrast. All this is rounded off by a 2\" Crayford eyepiece holder with 10:1 gear ratio<\/strong>smooth, play-free operation, ideal for precise focusing, even with heavy sensors.<\/p>\n

Supplied with clamps, a Vixen-style mounting plate and an angled 9\u00d750 finder, the 190MN is ready to be installed on a quality mount such as the HEQ5 PRO SynScan, included in this pack.<\/p>\n

HEQ5 PRO SynScan equatorial mount - Reliability and precision for imaging<\/h3>\n

The frame HEQ5-R PRO SynScan<\/strong> is a well-established reference among amateur and advanced astrophotographers alike. Equipped with precise stepper motors and a Go-To SynScan system, it offers smooth celestial tracking and excellent pointing accuracy.<\/p>\n

Capable of supporting the 190 mm tube with accessories while maintaining good stability, the HEQ5 PRO is an excellent compromise between portability and load capacity. It features a integrated polar bezel<\/strong> for rapid alignment, a self-steering port, and can be controlled manually via the racket or connected to a PC for full control.<\/p>\n
