Vai al moduloThe Sky-Watcher Newton Explorer 200/1000 HEQ5-R Synscan telescope pairs the world's most widely used Newtonian reflector — 200mm aperture, 1000mm focal length (f/5) — with a computerised Sky-Watcher HEQ5-R SynScan GoTo mount with micro-step motors, an adjustable steel tripod and 15kg payload capacity. The ideal combination for anyone moving into serious astrophotography with a large-aperture tube.
Key features
- 200mm Newtonian optics, f/5 focal ratio (1000mm focal length)
- 50.8mm Crayford focuser with 31.8mm reducer and 1:10 fine focus
- HEQ5-R equatorial mount with SynScan GoTo, hand controller with USB-B port
- 15kg payload capacity, micro-step motorisation in RA and DEC
- Autoguider port and illuminated polar scope
- 9x50 finderscope, LET 28mm 2" eyepiece and 220V power supply included

Who it's for
Compared to a 150mm tube, it gathers 78% more light, revealing more detail in galaxies and nebulae. The HEQ5-R mount, sturdier and more precise than the EQ5, with its 15kg payload and micro-step motorisation, is the recommended choice for long-exposure astrophotography with a 200mm Newtonian.
