Sky-Watcher N 150/750 Explorer 150P EQ3 Pro SynScan GoTo Telescope

N 150/750 Telescope:

This versatile Newtonian reflecting telescope offers both beginners and seasoned amateur astronomers ample light and stability at an affordable price. With its generous 150mm diameter, it gathers a remarkable amount of light, revealing distant Deep Sky Objects (DSOs) like the Ring Nebula in Lyra and the Dumbbell Nebula with stunning clarity. Even globular clusters such as M13 reveal a multitude of individual stars at their edges. Planetary observation is equally rewarding, providing rich detail in images of Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, and Mars. The f/5 focal ratio places this reflector in the category of 'fast' Newtonian telescopes, making it particularly suitable for astrophotography. Its light gathering capacity is an impressive 460 times greater than that of the naked eye alone (with a 7mm fully dilated pupil).

Key Advantages:

Relatively high light gathering power thanks to 150mm aperture

Resistant to vibration and wind due to compact design

Diffraction-limited parabolic primary mirror

High-contrast image due to thin secondary mirror spider vanes

Portable and quickly assembled

Short focal length allows for shorter exposure times in astrophotography

NEQ-3 Pro GoTo Mount:

This mount is an evolution of the EQ-3 Pro in a sleek white design. It provides a stable platform for most medium-sized telescopes, making it excellent for exploring the night sky. The polar elevation can be precisely adjusted using the fine scale and two screws provided. The mount comes fully equipped with motors in both axes and a SynScan hand control box for complete GoTo functionality. This makes the NEQ-3 suitable not only for visual observing but also for venturing into astrophotography. With practice, you can produce successful images of galaxies and nebulae.
