StarTravel 150/750 HEQ5-R PRO - 150 mm telescope with high-end Go-To mount

Visit Sky-Watcher StarTravel 150/750 with HEQ5-R PRO SynScan Go-To mount is a complete kit for demanding astronomers who want to combine optical power, tracking precision and ease of use. Thanks to its 150 mm wide-field refractor and high-precision motorized equatorial mount, this kit is ideal for advanced visual observation and astrophotography.

High-performance wide-field achromatic optics

The StarTravel 150/750 is a refracting telescope with a two-lens achromatic lens. This design effectively reduces chromatic aberrations by improving the convergence of different wavelengths, delivering sharper, higher-contrast images than with standard optics.

With a 150 mm opening and a 750 mm focal length (f/5), This telescope is designed for observations in rich-field. He excels at observing nebulaeand star clusterand star fieldsand comets and luminous galaxies. It also allows for beautiful observations of the Moonand planets and Sun (with suitable filter).

Its objective Multi-Coated optimizes light transmission, guaranteeing excellent brightness and enhanced contrast. The eyepieces supplied allow magnifications from x30 and x75, while the maximum useful magnification can reach x300.

An ultra-precise HEQ5-R PRO SynScan™ Go-To mount

Visit HEQ5-R PRO SynScan™ equatorial mount is the benchmark for amateur astronomers looking for a high-performance Go-To system. Designed to be accessible to beginners while meeting the requirements of advanced users, it automatically locates and tracks celestial objects.

Thanks to its intuitive control panel, You can point your telescope at a specific object or launch a guided sky tour in seconds. Its impressive database contains more than 42,900 items, including the Messier, NGC, IC and Caldwell catalogs, as well as planets, double and variable stars.

Pointing accuracy reaches 1 minute of arc, with software compensation for mechanical errors. Stepper motors (1.8° with 64 microsteps) ensure smooth, precise movement, with pointing speeds up to 800x (3.4°/second).

The frame also features advanced functions such as :

• Periodic error correction (PEC)
• Backlash
• Autoguiding interface for astrophotography
• Adjustable guide speeds (0.25x to 1x)
• Alignment on 1, 2 or 3 stars
• ASCOM and PC protocol compatibility

Its robust design guarantees optimum stability, essential for detailed observations and long exposure photography.

An ideal instrument for astrophotography

Thanks to its fast focal ratio and the precision of the HEQ5-R PRO mount, this telescope is perfectly suited for astronomical photography. It lets you capture deep-sky objects, lunar and solar eclipses, as well as celestial landscapes rich in detail.

Visit direct connection for SLR cameras makes it easy to set up photographic equipment, while the autoguiding interface improves precision during long exposures.
