SkyWatcher Explorer-150PDS (150/750) Newtonian reflector OTA with Dual-Speed focuser on EQ5 goto mount

The SkyWatcher Explorer 150PDS Newton telescope provides 33% more light than the 130/650 model. The F/5 main mirror makes the telescope a very versatile one. Magnification range is from 25x up to 250x, meaning that both deep sky objects and small details on the lunar surface can be observed. The tube length is 70cm, and is easy to transport. The EQ-3 mount is robust and makes tracking easier. The finderscope is an achromatic 6x30 one. The included 28mm Apex eyepiece gives 27x magnification. The scope features a 2" Dual-speed Crayford focuser making the telescope capable of astrophotography as well.

The EQ5 GoTo mount is a solid platform for the telescope, providing excellent stability. This version is sold with the newest SyScan GoTo hand controller which does not need any computer to be attached. The hand controller contains a database with over 42900 objects, including all Messier, NGC, IC objects and other deepsky catalogues, plus a catalogue of double and variable stars. After aligning the mount properly it can find the selected object within seconds.

The mount includes:

• SynScan hand contoller
• built-in USB port
• polarscope
• counterweight
• 45 mm steel tripod
• power cord with zigarette lighter connector
