SkyWatcher Explorer 300/1500 PDS Newton + EQ-6R goto

For those looking for the largest Newtonian telescope with an equatorial mount, we recommend the SkyWatcher Explorer 300/1500 PDS newton . Its precision-machined (at least diffraction-limited) main mirror reveals the spiral arms of many galaxies thanks to its enormous light-gathering power, it can break down many globular clusters into stars down to their centres but also observe interstellar nebulae in detail.

Excellent photographic tool
The telescope is a serious instrument if astrophotography is your goal: its large diameter and brightness allow you to quickly capture the wonders of the sky. The ultra-precise two-speed, 1:10 ratio 2" Crayford zoom lens allows easy focusing.

The high precision and wide aperture of the telescope make it easy to see the brightness and the lightness of the object.

Rich features
A 9x50 finder scope is included in the standard package, making it easy to adjust for even the faintest of objects. The basic package includes a 2" 28 mm Apex eyepiece, which is sure to impress the observer with its huge field of view.

The SkyWatcher Explorer 300/1500 PDS requires a minimum of an EQ-6 class mechanism. Keep in mind that the complete instrument weighs approximately 70 kg!
