What You'll Observe:

The Megastar 150/1400 boasts maximum aperture within its price range, making it perfect for observing emission nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. While also capable of revealing intriguing details on the Moon and planets, its primary strength lies in unveiling the depths of space beyond our solar system.

While not an all-round performer, the Megastar excels in showcasing nebulae and galaxies with remarkable brightness, a feature seldom found in this price range. If your interest lies primarily in celestial objects beyond our solar system, the Megastar is the perfect choice for you.

The Mount:

Designed to provide the stability essential for visual observation with this Newtonian telescope, the mount is also adaptable for astrophotography, thanks to its compatibility with an optional tracking motor. Equipped with flexible slow-motion controls, it ensures precise centering and adjustment for your observations.

The sturdy height-adjustable aluminum tripod serves as the base for the scope, offering compensation ability on uneven terrain. Detachable from the tripod with a single screw, transportation becomes hassle-free and space-saving.
