Overview

The Sky-Watcher Black Diamond 200/1000 Photo Reflector OTA is a 200mm Newtonian reflector designed for both visual observation and astrophotography. Its large aperture gathers ample light, resolving faint nebulae, galaxies, and fine lunar details, while the 1000mm focal length enhances image clarity. Equipped with a dual-speed Crayford focuser, it allows fast coarse adjustments and precise fine-tuning via a 10:1 reduction knob. The included 28mm LET eyepiece provides 35× magnification with a 56° apparent field of view and 20mm eye relief. The parabolic primary mirror and thin secondary mirror with minimal diffraction spike design ensure high-contrast, diffraction-free imaging for professional-quality results.
