Sky-Watcher N 150/750 PDS Explorer BD EQM-35 PRO SynScan GoTo Telescope

N 150/750 Telescope: This adaptable Newtonian reflecting telescope caters to both novice and seasoned stargazers, offering abundant light and stability at a modest cost. With its generous 150mm diameter, it reveals distant celestial marvels like the Ring Nebula and the Dumbbell Nebula, along with resolving globular clusters such as M13 into individual stars. Planetary observation showcases rich detail in images of Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, and Mars. Its f/5 focal ratio places it among the category of 'fast' Newtonian telescopes, making it an excellent choice for astrophotography. The light-gathering capacity of the 150 exceeds that of the naked eye by 460 times.

Key Advantages:

High light gathering power due to the 150mm aperture

Resistant to vibration and wind thanks to its compact design

Diffraction-limited parabolic primary mirror ensures high contrast images

Thin secondary mirror spider vanes provide a high-contrast view

Portable and quick assembly

Short focal length enables shorter exposure times in astrophotography

The PDS version of the Explorer features a dual-speed focuser with a 1:10 reduction ratio, crucial for precise focusing in astrophotography and visual observation. The tube length has been slightly shortened compared to the Explorer P version, optimizing the system for astrophotography.

The Sky-Watcher EQM-35 PRO Synscan Modular Equatorial Mount offers versatility with two mounts in one—a standard Go-To equatorial mount and a lightweight photo imaging mount, ideal for travel.

In standard configuration mode with DEC and RA axes, it functions as a normal Synscan™ equatorial mount with computerized Go-To and tracking in both axes. It provides access to 42,900+ objects in the Synscan™ handset's database, with a payload capacity of 10kg for visual use.

For travel, the DEC Axis and heavy counterweight shaft can be removed, significantly reducing the instrument's weight. This configuration allows for direct camera mounting or DSLR attachment using compatible accessories.

The EQM-35 PRO SynScan features a large 92.5mm diameter RA worm wheel with 180 teeth for precise tracking and increased stability. With enhanced features and performance, it offers improved periodic error and greater payload capacity compared to its predecessors.

Included Accessories: Finder Scope 6x30, 2'' Eyepieces 28mm, Counterweights 2 x 3.4kg, Cigarette Lighter Socket, Polar Finder Scope, Tube Clamps, Prism Rail, Camera Adaptor T2 (M42 x 0.75), Eyepiece Adaptor 1.25" - 2"
