This set pairs the optically capable Sky-Watcher Starlux 190MN Maksutov-Newtonian telescope with the computerised EQ6-R SynScan GoTo mount. Its 190 mm aperture and 1,000 mm focal length give a focal ratio of f/5.26. The Maksutov-Newton design provides a high-contrast, well-corrected field for demanding visual observing and astrophotography.
The primary mirror is made from thermally stable low-expansion borosilicate glass. Both mirrors carry Sky-Watcher's RAQ coating, specified at up to 94% reflectivity. A 2-inch dual-speed focuser allows precise focusing, while the 9x50 finder helps locate targets. Tube rings and a dovetail rail are provided for mounting.
The EQ6-R SynScan mount has a stated payload capacity of up to 20 kg for astrophotography. Its belt drive runs quietly and supports accurate tracking. Mount features include an adjustable polar altitude range of 5 to 65 degrees, periodic error correction (PPEC), camera shutter control port and a SynScan V6 hand controller with a database of more than 42,000 celestial objects. The stainless-steel tripod, two 5 kg counterweights, polar scope and autoguiding port are included.
This set is designed for experienced observers and astrophotographers seeking a capable Maksutov-Newton with a stable GoTo mount. Consider the substantial overall weight when planning transport and setup.
Included: Starlux 190MN Maksutov-Newton tube, 2-inch dual-speed focuser, 9x50 finder, EQ6-R SynScan GoTo mount, stainless-steel tripod with tray, SynScan V6 hand controller and cable, polar scope, autoguiding port, counterweight bar and two 5 kg counterweights. Batteries and external power supply are not included.
