Sky-Watcher

Using the simplest technology a tube, two mirrors, and a swiveling, tilting base the Classic 200P Dobsonian Telescope Kit from Sky-Watcher delivers bright views of deep sky objects like nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. It comes with eyepieces for 48x and 120x magnification and separates into two pieces for easy travel to the best viewing sites. A finderscope helps locate the DSO and the smooth 2" Crayford focuser tightens the view to tack-sharp. John Dobson built his first telescopes in California in the 1960s, using cardboard concrete-form tubes, and sidewalk astronomers have been using Dobs to explore the cosmos ever since.Optical Tube Assembly 8" (200mm) aperture can resolve dim deep-space objects, like wispy nebulae and galaxiesFast f/5.9 focal ratio ensures a wide field of view & maximum light throughput1200mm focal length helps to produce the fast focal ratio and magnification rangeBorosilicate parabolic primary mirror with aluminum coatings that bring the reflectivity to 94%25mm and 10mm Super Kellner eyepieces for 48x and 120x magnification, respectivelyResolution: 0.57 arcsec (Dawes Limit), 0.69 arcsec (Rayleigh Limit)48mm diameter secondary mirror; Obstruction: 24% by diameter, 6% by areaFocuser Crayford-style is much more precise than the traditional rack-and-pinionTension control system eliminates gears, resulting in zero backlash for tack-sharp focus on dim objects or objects, like binary stars, that are close together2" diameter holder allows the use of larger eyepieces and imaging systems that provide a wide field of view and long eye relief to make viewing dim and small deep-sky objects more comfortable
