Recently purchased this scope, but having trouble collimating the secondary mirror as the Allen bolts are so hard to turn, could you please do a collimation video, would really appreciate it.
Thank you for the presentation Stephen. Can the tube be mounted lately on a different mount, automated one for tracking and astrophoto? Does the fact that is a bit big and heave affects it in any way? I am looking to buy a telescope which I want to be an all - arounder, includding a little big of astrophoto. This will also be my first. Do you recommend this one? I'll appreciate your reply! Thanks!
You can put it on an EQ mount, you will need tuberings and a dovetail bar, but it is a long scope, and you would need to be careful with the bottom hitting the legs. An EQ mount with an extension pillar would be best.
hi, is the skyeatcher 200p good for live view of the galaxies and nebulas ? I'm not interested in photography and neither planets . only live view of galaxies and nebulas .
There actually isnt much between the 8 and 10, you will have to move it in 2 parts. The 12 is the one thats very heavy, and quite different ownership experience than the 8 or 10.
So I'm interested in seeing the planets ya said this isn't the one so what kind of telescope would ya recommend looking to get into it for the first time. Thank you!
Hi Jesse, a scope with a longer focal length would be better, like a Schmidt Cassegrain, or Maksutov Cassegrain type scope. These are ideal for planets and moon. If you are on a tighter budget, a 90mm or 102mm refractor with 900mm or 1000mm focal lengths will do a good job too.
Hi,I want to find out something.This days I will buy my first telesvope and will be a Skywatcher 200p Dobsonian.But I am confuse is skyliner is the same one as clasic 200p?
Hi, I have the same telescope and need help. I cannot see anything. Even the moon is hard. Please could you recommend a moon filter that I could use and fits on the 250p. Also any thoughts on how I can see the planets? Do I need a filter or some add on to view them? Thanks
Try it in the daytime on a distant object, like over 2km away, with the highest focal length eyepiece you have, probably a 25mm. The object should come into view sharply when its focused. Mark the focuser with a marker at this point, so next time you go out, it should be focused for the moon. You can do this for all the other eyepieces you have, marking them all on the focuser. If the daytime object wont come into focus at all, you might need to add the extension tube that should have come with your scope, in order for it to focus. Practice in the daytime is the key, wheres theres time to do it, and you wont be under pressure with trying to see and focus a moving object, like the moon, in the dark.
Amazing video Stephen! I still have a question though, i want to buy this telescope but i would like to install a motor drive on it, is that possible?
Really useful, thanks 👍🏻

Yep, Ill get one sorted when I get the new videos done soon :)

I'm deciding if I should get the 8 inch version from SkyWatcher or the 10 inch version? Much help would be highly appreciated

Indeed an 8inch Dobsonian is a great all-rounder
