Skywatcher Explorer 200mm (8") f/1000 Parabolic Newtonian ReflectorThe short tube length telescope is an excellent balance between light gathering power and portability.
The Skywatcher f/5 Newtonian Reflector features a high-quality
parabolic primary mirror. The parabolic mirror is important to
eliminate spherical aberrations inherent in short tube 'fast focal
length' reflectors.
The 200mm Primary mirror, provides 77% more light gathering than 150mm telescopes.
The heavy EQ5 Deluxe Heavy-Duty Equatorial Mount and tripod version
gives good stability and balance, but may result in the telescope being
less portable.
