Sky-Watcher 6" f/5 Newtonian Telescope - OTA
The Skywatcher Newtonian Telescope Explorer-150P is an excellent choice for the ascending astronomer as well as for the interested beginner. With its large 150 mm aperture, combined with the superb parabolic optics, this telescope is a powerful all-rounder with excellent performance for observing the moon, planets, nebulae, galaxies and star clusters.

The diffraction limited, precise primary mirror allows successful lunar and planetary observations up to about 300x. Since it is a pure reflecting optic, the image is free of disturbing chromatic aberrations and thus offers highest contrast. This also enables enjoyable planetary observations. Up to 220x magnification can be achieved without any problems and without having to fear blurring caused by the optics.

The 2" Crayford focuser allows the use of powerful professional 2" eyepieces, together with the rather short focal length of the telescope this is very helpful for wide field observations. Of course you can also use 1.25" accessories, the necessary adapter is included.

The Newtonian is also prepared for astrophotography. The focuser can take suitable coma correctors and you will be able to focus with common cameras, like DSLR, but also astro cameras without any problems.

"Der hinten offene Tubus läßt eine schnellere Temperaturanpassung über die freiliegende Hauptspiegelrückseite zu, läßt aber auch Licht herein (visueller Test mit Frontabdeckung am Tage). Der genau passende Deckel eines 1000g-Joghurteimerchens aus dem Supermarkt löst das Problem. "
