Description

The Sky-Watcher line of Quattro imaging Newtonians are ultra-fast and incredibly simple to use. The f/4 optical system allows the user to capture an image over six times faster than using an f/10 system, giving you the ability to acquire more images in less time. The Newtonian optical design is one of the most basic, and therefore trouble free, systems available to astrophotographers.

The large apertures of the Quattro line provides resolution of finer detail than smaller, fast refractors. For visual users, the large aperture provides the ability go deeper into the night sky and see fainter objects while still providing a wide field of view.

Also available for the astroimager is the optional f/4 coma corrector. This four-element ED corrector removes the annoying comet-like flair common with parabolic mirrors.

The Quattro line comes complete with 2-inch dual-speed linear focuser, 8x50 finderscope, mounting ring and dovetail bar.

Michael I. ★★★★★

I was surprised how much detail the 205 mm aperture pulls in on deep-sky objects—the Orion Nebula looked incredible. Collimation held steady after a quick tweak, which is more than I can say for my last scope. Really happy with this purchase for the price.

Claire F. ★★★★★

The f/4 focal ratio makes this scope incredibly fast for deep-sky imaging, and the 205mm aperture really pulls in faint details I couldn't see with my old 6-inch. I've been using it for three weeks now, and the star images are crisp right to the edge of the field.

Sebastian V. ★★★★★

I’ve been able to capture some stunning deep-sky images with the 800 mm focal length, and the f/4 ratio really speeds up my exposures. The mirror is solidly built, and collimation held up even after a bumpy car ride to my dark site.
