Featuring 33% more light-gathering capabilities than the 130P, and the same optics as the more expensive 150P EQ3-2, this ultra-compact telescope represents remarkable value for money.
A simple ready to go telescope straight out the box. No need to put the mount together as it's already done.
At only 33 inches high fully extended, suitable for placing on a tabletop or viewing while sitting on a low chair.
The flextube design collapses when not in use, so it can be easily stored away or placed on the back seat of a car.
An open tube body makes for easy access for blowing the dust off both mirrors.
The 150mm (6") f5 mirror is perfect for rich field star clusters, nebula and galaxies from dark sky areas. Also very capable of looking at craters on the Moon, the rings around Saturn plus the Moons and some cloud features on Jupiter. Venus will show its phases when in view.

Parabolic Primary Mirrors: Features High Quality Parabolic Primary Mirrors to eliminate spherical aberrations inherent in 'fast' focal length reflectors with spherical primary mirrors. The mirrors are parabolized to bring all the light rays to the same focal point to give sharp, contrasted images, which are full of detail.
Sky-Watcher Deluxe Mirror Coatings: Most reflectors today usually have a coat of aluminium as the mirror surface and then an overcoat of silicon monoxide or silicon dioxide to protect it. Silicon dioxide produces a much more durable coat than silicon monoxide but requires specialized equipment to apply it and is, therefore, more expensive. Protection is needed because in most reflectors, the mirror is open to the elements and deterioration of the reflective layer reduces the resolution of the telescope. ALL Sky-Watcher reflectors are Multi-Coated with Silicon Dioxide as standard for Optimum Durability and Long Term Performance.
"I have used a great number of telescopes; some are good, some mediocre and some bad. To me the Sky-Watcher range of instruments are very good indeed, and suited to amateurs of all kinds – and they are not priced out of the market! Excellent value.Sir Patrick Moore CBE FRS
