Skywatcher Quattro - for great short exposure astro photos

Skywatcher Quattro Newtonian telescopes offer you impressive astrophotography performance. Recording images of astronomical objects with a camera to take home has a special fascination for many sky watchers. A Skywatcher Quattro telescope is the right tool for satisfying your desire to record beautiful astronomical images.

Quattro means power for your astro photos

The Quattro range means extraordinarily 'fast' optics to benefit your astrophotography. Quattro telescopes have been designed and built specifically with astrophotography in mind. The 'fast' f4 aperture ratio allows you to capture extensive detail in your astrophotos - even when using short exposure times. Perhaps you do not have an expensive high-end mount, or perhaps your mount does not track very precisely. Even here, Quattro OTAs are an excellent choice as the large amount of light available for photography and the ultra short construction are great advantages even with smaller mounts. Quattro telescopes can also be used as wide field instruments.

A great all-rounder

Quattro telescopes are not just excellent for astrophotography; visual observing with them is also great fun. Discover a wealth of high resolution detail on planets such as Jupiter or Mars. Or you can just as easily observe the far distant treasures of the universe: nebulae, globular clusters, galaxies, and much more.

2" linear power focuser

With the focuser on Skywatcher Quattro telescopes, focusing any DSLR camera is simplicity itself. 4 ball bearings and a stainless steel support rail provide you with an extremely accurate and stable focuser. Even if you use a large DSLR with an extra battery pack, the 2" linear power focuser will hold your equipment completely reliably.

The 1:11 reduction ratio lets you to focus your astro images very precisely. Everything is perfectly sharp, and you can lock the entire focuser with just one central screw.

Includes:

  • Telescope
  • Tube rings
  • Prism rails
  • Finderscope

It not only matters which telescope you buy but also where you buy it. Our additional services:

  • We are a leading telescope dealer and know the devices we sell. Our customer service team will gladly help you after your purchase if you have problems with assembly or operation.
  • We provide a copy of the 80-page Telescope ABC beginners handbook with every telescope.
  • We also provide an edition of the exciting astronomy magazine, “Sterne und Weltraum” with each telescope.

Our expert comment:

You can use a coma corrector between the focuser and the camera for capturing optimal pin-sharp images right out to the edge of the field of view for astrophotography.

One excellent model is the Baader Rowe Coma Corrector which works best together at an aperture ratio of f4.

Customer reviews

Very good quality indeed.

Astroshop is underadvertising and underexplaining some of the features of this astrograph.

I have just received my astrograph and I'm extremely satisfied. It weighs 14.1 kg with the rings and front cover and without the finder scope (that you don't need if your mount works as it should anyway) and the primary mirror is 254 mm and not 250. The mirrors are multicoated by SiO2 which is very important for long time durability. There are internal baffle rings to increase the contrast and to block the stray light. Astrograph comes with 2"to M42 adapter, with 2" to 1.25" and a 2" extension tubes for visual observing. It comes also with a cover for the front aperture. The finderscope has a fixed focus for zero diopter (perfect) eye but as long as you don't wear glasses it's ok, it's of a very good quality - the tube is made of metal. The view is very clear. The OTA rings are very solid - I like those too. The focuser is fantastic too. The movement is super smooth and it can carry a huge load. There is a tension adjustment bolt and also a locking bolt. The primary mirror has the collimation circle in the centre. The main tube is very solid. The optics gives a super clear image like if there would be no any optics in the optical path at all apart from the eyepiece! The overall opinion is that this is a professional telescope for a small observatory. There's nothing not good enoug that I would have noticed. A perfect parabolic Newton astrograph!
