The SkyWatcher Skyliner 200P FlexTube Enhanced Standard Edition combines a 203 mm parabolic Newtonian optical tube with a manually operated Dobsonian mount. Its 1,200 mm focal length and f/5.91 focal ratio make it a versatile visual telescope for the Moon, planets and many deep-sky objects.
The extendable FlexTube design is ready for observing in seconds without a lengthy assembly. Three rigid struts support the extended tube, secured by a three-point locking system. For transport, the tube retracts and can be detached from the rocker box. A second locking position supports use with a binocular viewer.
