Sky-Watcher N 150/1200 Explorer 150PL EQ3 Pro SynScan GoTo Telescope

The N 150/1200 Telescope:

This telescope is highly recommended for beginners and is a must-have for experienced amateur astronomers alike. With its generous 150mm diameter, this Newtonian reflecting telescope gathers an abundance of light, revealing distant Deep Sky Objects (DSOs) in stunning detail. Objects such as the Ring Nebula in Lyra and the Dumbbell Nebula become beautifully visible, while globular clusters like M13 resolve into a multitude of individual stars at their edges. Planetary observing is equally rewarding, providing rich detail in images of Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, and Mars. With its f/8 focal ratio, this reflector is a versatile all-rounder suitable for both deep sky and planetary observation. The light-gathering capacity of the N 150/1200 is an impressive 460 times greater than the naked eye alone.

Key Advantages:

Compact and portable OTA

Excellent value for money

The NEQ-3 Pro GoTo Mount:

This mount represents a further development of the EQ-3 Pro, featuring a sleek white design. It offers a solid platform for most medium-sized telescopes and is perfect for exploring the night sky. The polar elevation at the observing site can be precisely set using the fine scale provided and adjusted perfectly with two screws. For added convenience, a polar finder can be retrofitted. Fully equipped with motors in both axes and a SynScan hand control box, the NEQ-3 is a complete GoTo mount suitable not only for visual observing but also for getting started in astrophotography. With a little practice, you'll soon be producing successful images of galaxies and nebulae.
