The N 254/1200 telescope provides the amateur astronomer with a huge aperture for detailed observation of deep-sky objects. This Newtonian telescope collects nearly three times more light than a 114 mm telescope, making it easier to observe planets and deep-sky objects. It can clearly show the spiral structure of galaxies and offers stunning images of globular clusters with individually distinguishable stars in the field of view.

Features of the telescope:

• Diffraction-limited primary mirror for precise optical alignment
• Secondary mirror with a diameter of 58 mm for high contrast
• Compact Crayford 2" focuser with fine focusing ability
• Suitable for astrophotography with an f-ratio of 4.7

The PDS version of the Explorer features a dual-speed focuser with a 1:10 reduction ratio, which is important for astrophotography and useful for visual observation. The tube length is slightly reduced compared to the Explorer P version, optimizing the system for astrophotography.
