The Skywatcher Quattro series are premium quality imaging Newtonians with a wide field of illumination and fast f4 focal-ratios. Tube interiors have knife-edge ray traced baffles.

Carbon fibre is a strong and lightweight material with better thermal stability than steel. This is especially important for astro-photographers dealing with long exposure times. Imaging telescopes made of less thermally stable material can deviate from optimum focus after long time exposures. With a carbon fibre tube, it can remain in focus for a longer period of time.

PYREX MIRRORS: Paraboloidal primary mirrors made of low thermal expansion Pyrex glass resulting in shorter cool-down times.

Quattro 200 (8-inch) specification
Diameter of Primary Mirror 205mm
Telescope Focal Length 800mm (f/4)
Note: Eyepieces NOT supplied
Parabolic Primary Mirror (Pyrex)2″ (50.8mm)
Tube Rings & Dovetail Bar
0.5mm Ultra-Thin Secondary Mirror Supports

Moonlite CR Focuser
Based on Moonlite’s classic Crayford focuser but with theirdual-speed Tri-Knob with Shaft Lock featuring an over sized 8 to 1 reduction unit with a preloaded, all ball bearing planetary reduction design that has no backlash or play. The inline unit can be rolled with the slightest touch for very fine focus movements. No wiggling, perfect collimation and a 6 lb load capacity make this option ideal for visual or imaging use.

The Shaft Lock mechanism is a unique mini brass compression ring clamp that allows the user to lock the shaft without deflecting the drawtube.

Non-marring compression-ring eyepiece holder
