This telescope is checked by us before delivery and in any case pre-adjusted. The focuser is set.


How do we adjust: "About us"




The Skywatcher Explorer 300PDS Newton is checked and adjusted by us before delivery. The focuser is set. But only when the telescope is picked up. Then the telescope will be delivered assembled by us.

The EQ6-R is checked and the bearings are adjusted if necessary.

All Newtonian telescopes should be adjusted before first use and then periodically to get a sharp image. We therefore adjust all of our Newtons before they leave our house.

How we adjust: About us

We ship this telescope free of charge in Germany.


 

SKYWATCHER TELESKOP EXPLORER 300PDS WITH EQ6-R GOTO MOUNT

SKYWATCHER 305MM (12 ") F / 4.9 DUAL-SPEED NEWTON TELESCOPE WITH PARABOLIC MIRROR WITH EQ6-R SYNSCAN MOUNT

The telescope optics:

The new Skywatcher Explorer-300PDS Newtonian reflector telescope contains the same excellent optics as the Explorer-300P Black Diamond series, but with two decisive improvements. A focuser with 10: 1 reduction was used for higher precision when focusing and the tube was shortened a little to improve the performance in photography in the primary focus. Even higher performance can be achieved when using the Skywatcher Newtonian coma corrector (No. 20233) for both visual astronomical observation and photography.

The mount:

The new, computer-controlled EQ6-R PRO Synscan ™ telescope mount is the impressive, evolutionary evolution of a legend that represents the EQ6 PRO. The modern, optimized design of the EQ6-R PRO includes new equipment details that will immediately convince experienced astrophotographers:


Increased payload of 20 kg for astrophotography
Belt drive for minimal "backlash" - particularly quiet and soft operation and better results when "guiding", as well as higher drive torque
Improved pole height adjustment with a larger adjustment range (5 ° to 65 °)
Built-in "SNAP" camera control connection
PPEC worm gear and periodic worm error correction function (makes the constant new training of the drive superfluous)
Integrated handle for easy transportation

The attached computer-controlled Synscan ™ hand control allows the telescope to be aligned to a specific object and offers tours of the current night sky with just a push of a button. The user-friendly menu system allows the automatic tracking of over 42,000 astronomical objects in the night sky with its extensive database.
