The SkyWatcher Explorer 150/750P Newtonian telescope is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality, versatile reflector telescope at an affordable price, suitable for virtually any observing purpose. Its precisely figured 150 mm parabolic primary mirror reveals a wealth of detail among the wonders of the night sky. Its wide field of view allows comfortable observation of larger deep-sky objects, such as star clusters and nebulae. At high magnifications, lunar surface features can be examined in detail, while planetary surface details also become visible.
A wide range of accessories and magnifications
The included 25 mm and 10 mm eyepieces provide 30x and 75x magnification. The supplied 2x Barlow lens multiplies these magnifications, providing additional 45x, 60x, 112x and 150x magnification options. Its 2" Crayford focuser enables precise focusing for both visual observation and astrophotography. The 6x30 finderscope with crosshairs makes locating objects easy.
The best choice for beginner astrophotographers
For those looking for the most affordable optical tube for imaging large deep-sky objects, the SkyWatcher Explorer 150/750P is hard to beat. Its fast focal ratio promises quick results, while the 2" focuser accepts an optional coma corrector for pinpoint stars right into the corners of the field.
The EQ-3 equatorial mount with tripod provides entry-level stability and precision. In the long term, the EQ-5 mount is a better choice, offering more comfortable telescope operation and improved suitability for astrophotography. Both versions naturally feature slow-motion controls and can be upgraded with single- or dual-axis motor drives, or even computerised GoTo control. The eyepiece tray can hold a variety of accessories—even your observing tea.
