Overview

The Sky-Watcher 200/1000 Explorer BD EQ5 is a powerful telescope with a 200mm aperture, allowing for detailed exploration of planetary features and revealing numerous deep-sky objects like nebulae, galaxies, and clusters. This telescope collects 816 times more light than the unaided eye, and under good conditions, the resolution can reach 0.60'. This enables incredible observations of Saturn's rings, features on Mars, the intricate atmosphere of Jupiter, and the phases of Venus. Globular clusters will unveil thousands of stars, while nebulae will display filaments of gas floating in the dark sky. Additionally, the fast f/5 focal ratio makes it ideal for astrophotography.

Features

Equatorial Mount EQ5

The Sky-Watcher 200/1000 Explorer BD EQ5 telescope comes with an equatorial mount, providing the convenience of compensating for Earth's rotation. This feature is advantageous for high-resolution observation, as a single knob adjustment tracks an object across the sky. The EQ5 mount, a professional German equatorial mount, effortlessly supports the weight of the telescope. The altitude and azimuth fine adjustment knobs facilitate easy polar alignment, ensuring accurate tracking with the help of gears. The robust steel tripod enhances stability and minimizes vibrations caused by wind.
