Skywatcher Explorer 150 EQM35 Synscan - Newtonian

The Sky-Watcher Newton 150/750 f5 telescope is a 150mm diameter, 750mm focal length reflector that offers high performance at a truly affordable price. All in a lightweight, easy-to-transport optical tube, with optical and mechanical quality unexpected for such an economical product. This optic is ideal for those looking for a bright yet compact instrument that is easily managed with low load-capacity mounts, such as an EQ3 or EQ5. The optical performance in both visual use and photography is remarkable for an instrument in this price range. Compatible with coma corrector code AOCORR.

Thanks to its 150mm diameter, this telescope is ideal for those just starting out with their first observational and photographic experiences. Its fairly compact dimensions and very affordable price make this instrument the best-selling and most used item in the world.

The SkyWatcher Newton 150/750 f/5 telescope features a solid 2-inch (50.8mm) Crayford focuser with a 1.25-inch (31.8mm) reducer and 1:10 micrometric focusing, which is better than that of similar telescopes from other brands. It therefore allows both the use of 2-inch wide-angle eyepieces (to obtain low magnification and large fields of view) and the connection of cameras equipped with large sensors (such as digital SLRs): in this case, we recommend using the AOCORR coma corrector for f/5 telescopes to flatten the field.
