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

N 150/750 Telescope: This Newtonian reflecting telescope offers both beginners and seasoned astronomers ample light and stability at a modest price. Its 150mm diameter gathers sufficient light to unveil distant celestial wonders like the Ring Nebula and the Dumbbell Nebula. Globular clusters, such as M13, reveal myriad individual stars at their edges, while planets like Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, and Mars showcase rich detail. With an f/5 focal ratio, it's classified as a 'fast' Newtonian, making it ideal for astrophotography. Its light gathering capacity is 460 times greater than the naked eye.

Key Advantages:

High light gathering power due to 150mm aperture

Compact design offers resistance to vibration and wind

Diffraction-limited parabolic primary mirror ensures high contrast images

Portable and quick to assemble

Short focal length allows for shorter exposure times in astrophotography

The PDS version of the Explorer includes a dual-speed focuser with a 1:10 reduction ratio, perfect for precise focusing needed in astrophotography and visual observing. The NEQ-3 Pro GoTo mount offers a solid platform for medium-sized telescopes, equipped with motors in both axes and a SynScan hand control box for easy navigation. With a little practice, successful images of galaxies and nebulae can be captured.
