TS Optics Telescope N 150/750 Starscope EQ3-1 (56527)

This Newtonian reflector telescope is a versatile option for both beginners and more experienced amateur astronomers. With its 150 mm aperture, it provides high light-gathering power, making it possible to observe faint deep-sky objects like the Ring Nebula and the Dumbbell Nebula, as well as resolving details in globular clusters. The f/5 focal ratio classifies it as a "fast" telescope, which is especially beneficial for astrophotography. Its compact and stable design ensures resistance to vibration and wind, while the EQ3-1 equatorial mount allows precise alignment and smooth tracking of celestial objects. TS Optics is a brand of Teleskop-Service.

Advantages

• Compact design for stability and portability

• Diffraction-limited parabolic primary mirror

• High-contrast images due to thin secondary mirror spider vanes

• Quick assembly and easy transport

• Short exposure times for astrophotography due to the fast focal ratio

EQ-3 Mount
This equatorial mount enables precise alignment with Polaris and allows for fine adjustments in both right ascension and declination. It is stable and suitable for small to medium-sized telescopes. The tripod is extendable, and the accessory tray provides space for eyepieces and other equipment.
