The Sky-Watcher Explorer 150P is a high-quality Newtonian reflector telescope designed for intermediate astronomers and dedicated beginners. With its large 150mm parabolic primary mirror, this telescope offers impressive light-gathering ability, providing bright, detailed views of celestial objects such as the Moon, planets, nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters. This Optical Tube Assembly (OTA) comes with essential accessories and is compatible with most standard mounts.
Key Features & Benefits
- 150mm Parabolic Primary Mirror: The large aperture and parabolic design deliver sharp, high-contrast views with minimal distortion. With 33% more light-gathering capability than a 130mm telescope, the Explorer 150P reveals more detail in faint objects.
- Optimised for High Power Viewing: With a focal length of 750mm (f/5), this telescope provides excellent versatility for both wide-field and high-magnification observations, achieving a maximum potential power of x300.
- Complete Accessory Kit: Includes 10mm and 25mm eyepieces, providing magnifications of x30, x60, x75, and x150, as well as a 2x Barlow lens with a camera adaptor for photography. The 6x30 finderscope aids in locating objects, while the built-in polar alignment scope holder allows for accurate polar alignment when used with an equatorial mount.
- Precision Optics with Ultra-Thin Secondary Supports: The 0.5mm ultra-thin secondary mirror supports reduce diffraction spikes, enhancing image sharpness and contrast for clearer views of planets and stars.
- Mount Compatibility: Supplied with tube rings and a dovetail mounting bar, making it compatible with various telescope mounts, such as the EQ3-2 or EQ5 equatorial mounts.
