Description

Sky-Watcher Explorer 300PDS NEQ6 Pro GoTo Telescope A High-Performance Deep-Sky Powerhouse

An Advanced Astrophotography & Deep-Sky Observing Telescope

The Sky-Watcher Explorer 300PDS NEQ6 Pro GoTo is a high-performance 305mm (12″) Newtonian reflector telescope, designed for serious visual astronomers and astrophotographers. With a large aperture, precision parabolic optics, and advanced tracking capabilities, this telescope excels at revealing deep-sky galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters in exceptional detail.

Paired with the NEQ6 Pro Go-To Equatorial Mount, the Explorer 300PDS offers fully computerised object tracking and heavy-duty stability, making it an ideal setup for long-exposure astrophotography and high-resolution deep-sky viewing.

Key Features

• 305mm (12″) Parabolic Primary Mirror: Captures 44% more light than a 250mm telescope, revealing fainter deep-sky objects and finer details in galaxies and nebulae.
• 1500mm Focal Length (f/4.9): A fast focal ratio for deep-sky astrophotography, offering wide fields of view and shorter exposure times.
• 2″ Dual-Speed 10:1 Crayford Focuser: Provides smooth, ultra-precise focusing, essential for astrophotography and high-magnification observing.
• 0.5mm Ultra-Thin Secondary Mirror Supports: Minimises diffraction for higher contrast and sharper images.
• Shortened Optical Tube Design: Optimised for prime-focus astrophotography.
• 9×50 Finderscope: Helps with quick and accurate object tracking.
• Heavy-Duty NEQ6 Pro Go-To Mount: Offers precise motorised tracking with a 42,900+ object SynScan database.
• 2″ Stainless Steel Tripod: Provides superior stability for imaging and visual use.

Astrophotography-Ready Design

• Fast f/4.9 Optics for Shorter Exposure Times
• Stable NEQ6 Pro Mount for Long-Exposure Imaging
• Dual-Speed Crayford Focuser for Precise Camera Adjustments
• Compatible with Coma Correctors for Edge-to-Edge Sharpness

This telescope is perfect for imaging deep-sky objects, such as:

Spiral structures in galaxies (e.g. Andromeda, Whirlpool Galaxy)
Fine details in nebulae (e.g. Orion, Lagoon, Rosette Nebulae)
Dense star fields in globular clusters (e.g. Hercules Cluster M13)
Planetary nebulae and faint deep-space objects

What Can You Observe?

With its large 12″ aperture, the Explorer 300PDS provides incredible detail on:

• The Moons craters, ridges, and valleys
• Jupiters cloud bands, Great Red Spot, and moon transits
• Saturns rings, Cassini Division, and multiple moons
• Mars polar ice caps and surface markings
• Venus phases
• Deep-sky galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters in breathtaking detail

Included Accessories

• 28mm LET Eyepiece (2″) Provides 53.5x magnification
• 9×50 Finderscope Assists with quick target acquisition
• 2″ Dual-Speed 10:1 Crayford Focuser Ensures pinpoint precision for high-powered viewing & imaging
• NEQ6 Pro Go-To Equatorial Mount Fully motorised for automated tracking & Go-To functionality
• 42,900+ Object SynScan Database Locates Messier, NGC, IC, Caldwell, and solar system objects
• Heavy-Duty 2″ Stainless Steel Tripod Provides exceptional stability for imaging
