The Story
The Sky-Watcher Quattro 250P is a 10-inch f/4 Newtonian astrograph designed specifically for deep-sky astrophotography while remaining versatile for visual astronomy. With its fast f/4 focal ratio and oversized secondary mirror, it captures images six times faster than typical 8-inch f/10 telescopes, making it ideal for capturing faint nebulae and galaxies. The telescope features high-quality borosilicate mirrors with proprietary RAQ coatings for 94% reflectivity and comes complete with a dual-speed Crayford focuser, finderscope, and mounting hardware.
