Sky-Watcher Explorer 150PDS - Newton f/5 telescope optimized for astrophotography

A formidable instrument for home astrophoto!

The Sky-Watcher Explorer 150PDS is a direct evolution of the famous Explorer-150P Black Diamond. It retains the excellent 150 mm parabolic mirror,
but brings two major improvements:

  • Crayford 10:1 multiplied eyepiece holder for precise focusing, essential in photography.
  • Shortened tube to enable direct focusing with an unmodified camera.

Associated with Sky-Watcher coma corrector (product code 20233), the 150PDS reveals its full potential:
sharp stars right up to the edge of the field, enhanced contrast, and outstanding visual and imaging performance.
