200p ds OTA

[drewzilla]

Hi there,

I'm planning on buying a 200p ds OTA soon. ( cant wait)

Im just wondering if anyone knows if it comes with a dovetail and rings?

Cheers

If you look at FLO for example it has dovetail and rings on the picture at least, but I think the best way is to contact the seller to make sure.

Drewzilla I am waiting on my 200P DS and NEQ6 PRO mount from FLO right now so will let you know if it has or not.

A nice looking bit of kit......

First Light Optics - Skywatcher Explorer 200P OTA

Thats not the one though Tinker1947. Its the 200P DS he is getting. Shorter tube

[drewzilla]

Indeed the ds version! im hoping it will make my life slightly easier when i start imaging... plus the dual speed focuser looks ace imo!

[Cloengaa]

yeah thats what I think too. Here is the setup I ordered:

Skywatcher NEQ6 PRO Synscan

Skywatcher Explorer 200P DS OTA

Skywatcher Startravel 80 OTA

Baader Neodymium Filter

Cheshire Collimating Eyepiece

StarSharp Bahtinov Focus Masks (200mm F5 Newt)

Baader MPCC Coma Corrector

Ha(7nm), Hb, OIII & SII:

SkyWatcher Auto Focuser

I bought the autofocuser because if you need focus using your hand you must have a pretty steady hand to not wobble hehe.

A similar list to mine, but all I had money for yesterday was the NEQ6 and the Skywatcher Startravel 80 OTA, nothing left in my bank now and it has a slow recharge rate.

hehe yeah thats the thing about bank accounts hehe
