Product description

More about the series Explorer...

This telescope is also available, together with accessories, in a beginners set.

N 200/1000 telescope:

With a 200mm aperture, this telescope opens up new details in deep sky observing for the observer as compared to smaller telescopes. With 78% more light gathering ability compared to a 150mm telescope, even the delicate spiral arms of many galaxies and additional structures in other nebulae can be observed. Globular clusters, such as the famous M13 cluster in Hercules, can be resolved at their edges to a large degree. The parabolic primary mirror is diffraction limited, allowing sharp images of the object. The very high-contrast optics are optimised by the use of a small secondary mirror and thin secondary mirror spider vanes, allowing sharp and bright planetary observing even at higher magnification. The OTA has a solid 2-inch Crayford focuser for a low image shift focusing - of particular importance at high magnifications and for astrophotography. The use of 2 inch eyepieces allows the maximum possible field of view to be exploited. The telescope has an f5 aperture ratio, putting it in the class of 'fast' Newtonian telescopes, so this telescope is particularly well suited to astrophotography.

The OTA is also visually a real gem, featuring an elegant design for the both OTA and finder scope in an aesthetically pleasing shimmering black.

The advantages in a nutshell:

  • relatively high light gathering power thanks to 200mm aperture
  • resistant to the effects of vibration and wind
  • diffraction limited parabolic primary mirror
  • high-contrast image due to thin secondary mirror spider vanes and small secondary mirror
  • well suited to astrophotography due to the 'fast' optics

It not only matters which telescope you buy but also where you buy it. Our additional services:

  • We are a leading telescope dealer and know the devices we sell. Our customer service team will gladly help you after your purchase if you have problems with assembly or operation.
  • We provide a copy of the 80-page Telescope ABC beginners handbook with every telescope.

Customer reviews

My first scope

Review by A. R. on 24.01.2024 14:10:02

( 5 / 5 )

Admittedly I don't have much experience with other scope. Last time I had one, it was lent to me by a professor some 12 years ago. This scope does all its supposed to. Would recommend.

The first telescope of my life.

Review by A. S. on 31.10.2024 20:41:37

( 4 / 5 )

I am very satisfied with this scope. Relatively cheap, but very good. Initially, I used it for visual observation, then for astrophotography. If you will use it for astrophotography, you will definitely need a coma corrector. Its focuser is more than enough for visual observation. However, if you want to take photos with it, it will be a bit problematic. It won't handle heavier cameras, I'm mainly thinking of monochrome cameras here. I used it with a DSLR and then with a lightweight OSC camera. Its collimation is very simple, it takes a few minutes with the help of a collimation eyepiece/laser.
