Sky-Watcher N 150/750 Explorer 150P OTA Telescope

N 150/750 Telescope:

This versatile Newtonian reflecting telescope offers both novice and seasoned amateur astronomers ample light and stability at an affordable price. With its generous 150mm aperture, it gathers an impressive amount of light, revealing distant Deep Sky Objects (DSOs) such as the Ring Nebula in Lyra and the Dumbbell Nebula in stunning detail. Even globular clusters like M13 resolve into a multitude of individual stars at their periphery. Planetary observation yields rich detail in images of Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, and Mars. With its f/5 focal ratio, this reflector falls into the category of 'fast' Newtonian telescopes, making it particularly suitable for astrophotography. The light gathering capacity of the 150 is 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
