The Skyward 200 Telescope

A bigger bucket for photons, for visual observing or astrophotography.

The Skyward 200 is the big brother of our Skyward 150, and everything on it is bigger: an 8 inch parabolic mirror with an 800mm focal length, a 70mm secondary mirror, 3030 aluminum extrusions and our heavy duty Ten Telescopes 2 Inch Focuser. It comes in two versions: a visual version on an elevated Dobsonian rocker box and tripod, and the Skyward 200 Astrograph, designed with extra stiffness and printed in a stiffer filament for long exposure astrophotography.

​

Details to build one? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Go to our GitHub page for the 3D printing files. The printed parts need a printer with a 300mm x 300mm bed, and we recommend ABS or ASA in an enclosed printer.

​

Support to use one or with setting one up?

Go to our Discord page and talk to members of our TenTelescopes community.

Where can you see one?

Thirty Skyward 200s are being built for the Young Galileos program, and you can see what the Skyward 200 Astrograph can do on our blog.

This telescope is suitable for observing the Moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies. This telescope is not safe for observing the Sun.
