Description
Track faint deep-sky galaxies and resolve high-contrast lunar features automatically with the Skywatcher N 200/1000 Explorer 200P EQ5 Pro SynScan GoTo computerized reflector telescope package. Designed with a fast f/5.0 focal ratio, this 200mm (7.87 in) aperture instrument features a 1000mm focal length, delivering 0.58 arcseconds Dawes resolving power and reaching magnitude 14.2 for automated deep-sky exploration.
The Skywatcher N 200/1000 Explorer 200P EQ5 Pro SynScan GoTo utilizes a precision parabolic primary mirror made from low-expansion borosilicate optical glass with 94% reflective aluminum and silicon dioxide (SiO2) coatings. Its 920mm solid metal tube features a 52mm secondary mirror (26% obstruction by diameter) and a 2-inch rack-and-pinion focuser. Mounted on an EQ5 Pro computerized GoTo equatorial mount with a tubular stainless steel tripod, the 8.75 kg OTA ensures high-precision automated tracking.
Key Features of Skywatcher N 200/1000 Explorer 200P EQ5 Pro SynScan GoTo
Built for automated deep-sky observation and high-resolution lunar video tracking, this 8-inch Sky-Watcher Explorer 200P telescope pairs parabolic optics with an EQ5 Pro GoTo mount. Its SynScan V5 controller and stainless steel tripod provide accurate automated slewing across thousands of celestial objects.
- 200mm (7.87 in) clear aperture with 1000mm focal length and fast f/5.0 optical speed
- Precision parabolic primary mirror made from low-expansion borosilicate glass
- 94% reflective aluminum optical coatings with protective silicon dioxide overcoat
- Small 26% secondary mirror obstruction by diameter (52mm minor axis, 6.8% by area)
- 2-inch single-speed rack-and-pinion focuser with step-down 1.25-inch adapter
- EQ5 Pro SynScan computerized German equatorial GoTo mount with stepper motors
- SynScan V5 hand controller with a 42,000+ celestial object navigation database

8-Inch Parabolic Optics & Low Central Obstruction
The 200mm parabolic primary mirror gathers ample light to resolve intricate spiral arms in faint galaxies and fine lunar rilles without spherical aberration. Supported by a small 26% secondary obstruction, this Sky-Watcher reflector supports visual magnifications from 28.6x up to 400x.
EQ5 Pro SynScan GoTo Mount & Stainless Steel Tripod
Automated tracking precision is essential for high-magnification lunar observation and planetary imaging. The Sky-Watcher Explorer 200P includes an EQ5 Pro equatorial mount with internal stepper motors and a SynScan V5 controller for accurate GoTo navigation. Mounted on a rigid tubular stainless steel tripod, it dampens vibrations effectively during observing sessions.
- Computerized EQ5 Pro equatorial mount with SynScan V5 automated hand controller
- Tubular stainless steel tripod with central accessory tray for maximum dampening
- High-aperture 9×50 optical finderscope paired with a 2x Barlow lens and eyepieces
