  • Sky-Watcher Quattro 300P Imaging Newtonian 12" (305 mm)

    The Sky-Watcher Quattro 300P is a 12" (305mm) imaging Newtonian with a 1200mm focal length at f/4 and a 2" dual-speed Crayford focuser. The tube is 42.5" long, 14.25" in outer diameter and 57 lb with accessories.

    305mm f/4 Optics

    The 305mm primary mirror has a 1200mm focal length, giving f/4. The primary edge thickness is 38mm and the secondary mirror 102mm.

    Focuser and Accessories

    The 2" dual-speed Crayford focuser has a fine-focus knob alongside the main knobs. A 2" to 1.25" eyepiece adapter is included for 1.25" accessories.

    No coma corrector or eyepiece is included.

    Mounting the 57 lb Tube

    The box holds the tube, a 9x50 finderscope, a pair of tube rings, a D-style dovetail rail and a 2" to 1.25" adapter.

    The tube rings and D-style dovetail rail need a mount with a D-style saddle and a payload rating that covers the 57 lb tube plus your camera and accessories.

    Solar Safety

    Never point the telescope or its finder at the Sun without a proper solar filter securely covering the front of the telescope: looking at the Sun through it will cause permanent eye damage.
