Sky-Watcher Explorer 150P (EQ3-2) Newtonian Reflector Telescope

Sky-Watcher Explorer 150P (EQ3-2) Newtonian Reflector Telescope — 10912 / 20448

The Sky-Watcher Explorer 150P on EQ3-2 is one of the most popular mid-size beginner–intermediate telescopes — offering excellent light gathering, sharp parabolic optics and a stable equatorial mount at outstanding value. With its 150mm (6") aperture and fast f/5 focal ratio, it’s a versatile all-rounder for observing the Moon, planets, galaxies, nebulae and star clusters.

Supplied with quality accessories — including eyepieces, Barlow lens, finderscope and smartphone adapter — it’s a complete package that’s ready to explore the night sky.

Sharp, bright optics

The 150P uses a precisely figured parabolic primary mirror, eliminating spherical aberration and delivering crisp, high-contrast images. Sky-Watcher’s Radiant™ Aluminium Quartz (RAQ™) coatings provide up to 94% reflectivity for brighter views and long-term durability.

Ultra-thin 0.5mm secondary supports minimise diffraction spikes and light loss, helping stars appear tighter and more pinpoint.

Track objects smoothly with the EQ3-2 mount

The included EQ3-2 German equatorial mount allows you to track celestial objects using slow-motion controls after polar alignment. This makes it easier to follow planets and deep-sky objects as they move across the sky, and offers a solid upgrade path for future accessories or motor drives.

A built-in polar scope holder, aluminium tripod and accessory tray complete the stable observing platform.

Capture the night sky — even with your phone

The Explorer 150P package includes:
