SkyWatcher Quattro-8S (200/800) Newtonian reflector reflector with Dual-Speed focuser

Imaging faint objects require long exposure times. The exposure times can be reduced by using faster telescopes.
The Sky-Watcher Quattro 8S is a premium quality imaging Newtonian with a wide field of illumination and fast f4 focal-ratios. The tube is equipped with knife-edge ray traced baffles for maximum image contrast. It has paraboloidal primary mirror made of low thermal expansion glass resulting in shorter cool-down times. A 2" dual speed Crayford focuser helps for precise focus adjustment.

The tube length of the telescope is also shorter, meaning that the scope is easier to handle and transport, and it is also more stable on a given mount than a longer tube model.

A comacorrector is a recommended accessory for astrophotography, we recommend the SkyWatcher's aplanatic F/4 coma corrector, which has really good quality.

This scope is an excellent instrument for visual observing too, especially for deep-sky oobjects,  but can be used with high magnifications as well.

Note that the mount is not included.

For visual use the minimum recommented mount is an EQ5 or AZ-EQ5, while for astrophotography the minimum mount is an AZ-EQ5 or HEQ5 Pro mount
