Check adjustment Newton Mirrorball primary mirror focuser
The Skywatcher Explorer 200P is checked and adjusted by us before delivery. The focuser is set.

All Newton telescopes should be adjusted before first use and then regularly
to get a sharp picture. We adjust all of our Newton before they leave our house.

Skywatcher Explorer-200P 200mm 1000mm f / 5 8 '' Newton Telescope

Newton telescope with 200mm aperture and 1000mm focal length, 2 "Crayford focuser

There are not only alternators in the car! :-)
Newton telescopes are considered (and are) basically high-powered telescopes. From f / 5 I define again as particularly bright. When observing the moon, we definitely recommend a filter to reduce the glare effect. - The moon reflects so much light that the light should be attenuated (especially at low magnification). Also note the dark adaptation of the eye. For example, if I want to observe deep sky objects after the moon, the adaptation of the eye takes a certain amount of time before I can perceive the much fainter ones again in detail.
And that brings us to the objects that such a Newton can show in abundance - visually and photographically!
Deep sky objects (ie galaxies, nebulae, star clusters ...) do not need a high magnification, but a corresponding light gathering power. For photography, this also means the shortest possible exposure time for a shot.
Planets (and moon) require a higher magnification and thus a Barlow lens ???? for focal length extension.
So with this device also beautiful details on the moon and planets can be seen! So you do not have to do without this field of application:
An (almost) all-rounder among the telescopes focusing on deep sky.

The parabolic primary mirror in conjunction with the relatively small secondary mirror ensures a good correction of the field of view / focus and thus sharpness and contrast richness. Therefore, not only a bright image of deep sky objects is a pleasure. Moon and Panets offer a wealth of detail (fine craters and grooves on the moon, cloud bands on Jupiter or the rings of Saturn, for example) that will delight you in every area of astronomical observations.
Due to the versatility of this telescope and the reasonable price, this device is also very interesting for school astronomy.

The 2 "focuser:
The Newton is equipped with a smooth and precisely worked 2 "Crayford focuser with a reduction for 1.25" accessories. You can thus use powerful 2 "eyepieces, a bright picture and a broader view is possible.All 1.25" eyepieces can of course also be used.
Since the drawer is ball-bearing, heavy and accurate adjustments are guaranteed for heavy accessories.
