Visit Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-150P EQ3 PRO SynScan is a versatile Newton telescope designed to meet the expectations of demanding amateur astronomers and enthusiastic beginners alike. Thanks to its 150 mm diameter and its excellent optical quality, it offers a remarkable observation experience of the deep sky and solar system. Whether you want to explore lunar craters, admire Saturn's rings or dive into nebulae and galaxies, this model is a reliable, high-performance choice.
Its fast opening ratio of f/5 (750 mm focal length) captures a large amount of light, providing bright, high-contrast images. Compared to a 130 mm telescope, this model captures 33 % additional light, This translates into finer detail and better visibility of faint deep-sky objects such as star clusters, galaxies and nebulae.
The Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-150P's parabolic primary mirror guarantees excellent correction of optical aberrations, delivering sharp, precise images across the entire field. It is combined with Radiant™ Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™) which ensures reflectivity up to 94 %, for optimum brightness and durability.
Ultra-thin secondary mirror supports (0.5 mm) minimize diffraction, further enhancing image quality. This level of finish enables detailed observations of bright planets, the Moon and deep-sky objects.
The telescope is supplied with two eyepieces (10 mm and 20 mm) offering magnifications of x37.5, x75 and x150 with Barlow x2 lens included. Theoretical maximum capacity x300, ideal for planetary observations in good conditions.
The real trump card of this model is its motorized equatorial mount. EQ3 PRO SynScan GoTo. Equipped with two-axis stepper motors, it enables precise tracking of celestial objects, compensating for the Earth's rotation.
Thanks to its intuitive control paddle, you can automatically point more than one 42,900 celestial objects, including Messier, NGC and IC catalogs. This feature is ideal for beginners wishing to explore the sky without in-depth knowledge, while offering high precision for advanced users.
The mount also incorporates a polar finder holder for easy set-up, and a sturdy aluminum tripod with accessory tray for optimum stability in the field.
The Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-150P is perfectly suited to a first approach to astrophotography. It enables direct connection to SLR cameras, and the use of a universal smartphone adapter supplied, compatible with telephones from 54 to 90 mm wide.
Easily capture images of the Moon, planets or even deep sky objects directly from your smartphone. This versatility makes it an ideal instrument for sharing your observations or getting started in astronomical imaging without major additional investment.
Designed to offer a seamless user experience, this telescope requires very little set-up time. The motorized mount simplifies alignment and tracking, while the 6×30 finder makes it easy to locate objects initially.
Whether you're observing visually or imaging, the Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-150P offers intuitive handling and excellent user comfort. Its rugged, durable design makes it an ideal companion for years of astronomical exploration.
