The Skywatcher Heritage 150/750 Flex Dobson telescope is an ultra-compact, highly portable astronomical telescope at a far-from-astronomical price. Its optical tube is collapsible, making its already compact size even smaller. This is a true grab-and-go telescope, and its optical performance will impress beginner astronomers as well.
A telescope of this size already reveals a wealth of celestial objects in the night sky. The Moon’s countless craters, Saturn’s rings and Jupiter’s colourful cloud bands are sure to impress any observer. Under dark, rural skies free from light pollution, dozens of star clusters, nebulae and galaxies can be observed with this telescope.
At the heart of the SkyWatcher Heritage 150/750 Flex Dobson is a precision-made 150 mm primary mirror. Unlike many entry-level reflecting telescopes, it has a parabolic surface rather than a spherical one, delivering sharp images even at high magnifications. The included 25 mm and 10 mm barium eyepieces provide magnifications of 30x and 75x respectively. Naturally, the magnification range can be extended up to 300x by adding further eyepieces or a Barlow lens. Object locating is assisted by the Starpointer.
The classic Dobsonian mount offers not only simplicity but also excellent stability. Unlike beginner telescopes mounted on simpler equatorial mounts, the image remains steady even at high magnifications. With a total weight of 6 kg including the mount and optical tube, it can be easily carried by hand from one end of the garden to the other.
