If you are interested in astrophotography using a DSLR and telescope, the Sky-Watcher HEQ5 is a suitable GoTo mount for a wide variety of imaging configurations. You’ll also have the ability to explore other optical designs such as Newtonian reflectors, Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, and more. You can now enter the world of deep-sky astrophotography through a telescope, as the HEQ5 can handle small to medium-sized refractors with ease. Some of the major advantages of a telescope mount in this class are GoTo functionality and increased payload capacity.
The HEQ5 is a big step up from the star tracker category. In this review, I’ll share my insights on this telescope mount, and share many image examples using it. I am often asked by beginner astrophotographers for advice on purchasing their first tracking mount, and the Sky-Watcher HEQ5 is an excellent choice to consider. In my experience, the Sky-Watcher HEQ5 provides extremely high precision tracking and works exceptionally well with the use of autoguiding via the built-in autoguider port. This telescope mount includes the SynScan system, which offers the user a hand controller to select and track various objects in the night sky. It was one of the first mounts I had ever used for astrophotography, and one I still use to this day. We're expecting these scopes to come into stock sometimes in the latter part of Januaryĭefinitely add your Email address to the product page to be notified when they arrive.The Sky-Watcher HEQ5 is a GoTo equatorial telescope mount capable of deep-sky astrophotography. The 200P scopes come with 25mm and 10mm eyepieces (Kellner type). Hi there, not sure I'm not seeing this on the product page, but what lens does this unit come with?Īlso, any estimate on when stock will be made available? Most times people don't worry about coma as much when using the scope for visual observation.
A corrector is generally left on the scope at all times and sits in front of the camera. Collimation can also be done without any tools but it's not as easy and takes more practise.Ī (coma) corrector is an optical element that is used to improve the view through a Newtonian or Dobsonian telescope, mainly for imaging - it accounts for natural distortions especially around the edge of the view (coma), which naturally result from this type of scope's optical design. The collimator is usually used before a view or imaging session and once you get used to the process takes a couple of minutes with a good tool like the laser collimator. Newtonian and Dobsonian scopes can have the mirrors move fairly easily if the scope is moved, just part of how the design is. The scopes don't come with the collimator - this product helps you to align the internal mirrors in order to get the best possible image. Im new to this, so are collimators and correctors the same thing? If it doesnt come with a collimator, do you sell one that fits the features of this scope? On the accessories portion of the specs, it lists it as not icluding a corrector. Hi there, Im looking into buying your "Sky-Watcher Classic 200P 8" Dobsonian - S11610", and Im just curious as to whether or not it comes with any sort of collimator. This scope comes with 2 eyepieces, a 25mm and 10mm. What eyepieces are included? Is the focuser plastic? Yes a red dot finder scope is included with the Sky-Watcher Dobs Does this come with a finder scope included?
