The SkyWatcher Explorer 150/750P Newtonian + EQ-3 GoTo is a great choice for those looking for a very high quality mirror telescope at a great price that is good for almost any observation purpose. The precision-machined 150 mm diameter parabola reveals many details of the beauty of the sky. Thanks to its large field of view, more extensive deep sky objects (star clusters, nebulae) can be comfortably observed. Using high magnification, you can also study the surface of the Moon in detail, but also see the surface details of the planets.
Wide range of accessories and magnifications
The 25 mm and 10 mm eyepieces in the basic kit provide magnifications of 30x and 75x. The barlow lens in the basic kit multiplies these magnifications, giving additional magnifications of 45x, 60x, 112x, 150x. A 2" Crayford focuser allows fine focusing for both visual and photographic observation. A 6x30 crosshair finder scope makes it easy to locate objects.
Best Choice for Beginning Astrophotographers
Those looking for the best priced telescope tube for photographing large deep-sky objects will not find a better value than the SkyWatcher Explorer 150/750P. The high brightness promises quick success, and the 2" focuser allows you to accept the optional coma corrector for spot-on imaging in the corners.
The Synscan handheld controller has a number of additional features beyond the computerized object lock (Goto control) that can be useful for both visual and photographic observers. Among other things, dead time compensation can be set to reduce the response time of the mount; 25 custom object data can be stored for easy resetting later. It is also possible to set the most spectacular objects of the evening one after the other within a tour. The Synscan handheld controller database stores data on more than 42 900 objects.
The eyepiece tray can be equipped with a variety of accessories, including a sighting device.
