A high performance instrument with a huge 250mm parabolic primary mirror for incredible light transmission, which provides breathtaking views of night sky objects. Whether your interest is in Deep-Space observations, the Moon and Planets, or a combination of both, the Explorer 250PX offers excellent, all round, diffraction limited performance.

The new HEQ5 SynTrek is effectively a hybrid of the standard HEQ5 and the HEQ5 PRO SynScan. It is basically a standard EQ6 but with a pre-installed PRO SynScan motherboard and stepper motors, and supplied with its own unique SynTrek hand-controller.

The SynTrek hand control is designed for the purpose of providing a simple slewing and tracking control. The small and versatile SynTrek hand control provides automatic tracking of celestial objects as soon as the power is turned on. The user-friendly interface provides quick access to many other functions the SynTrek has to offer.

The EXPLORER-250PX models feature a Paraboloidal primary mirror made of Low Thermal Expansion Pyrex Glass resulting in substantially shorter cooling time. This makes the Explorer-250 truly an awesome telescope for the discerning enthusiast.
