Skywatcher Telescope Evostar 150 OTA - 150 mm f/8 Refractor - optical tube

Skywatcher Evostar 150 mm Refractor according to Fraunhofer

A refractor with 150 mm aperture and a good image, that is the dream of many amateur astronomers. Until recently, refractors with this aperture were reserved for observatories and semiprofessionally working amateur astronomers. Now we can offer this telescope at an affordable price.

The Skywatcher Evostar 150 is a versatile telescope.

Lunar and planetary observing: Jupiter´s moons, in calm air, can be seen as discs of different size. Mars reveals finest details and also becoming and passing of the ice-covered polar caps can be observed. The moon is blotched with finest rilles, escarpments and craters where smaller apertures only show smooth surface. From 120x magnification upwards, we recommend the "Semi Apo Filter" from Baader which enhances contrast further.

Deep-sky observing: Deep-Sky observation is a great pleasure with this refractor. Weak structures in diffuse nebulae are as visible as globular clusters beyond our galaxy which can be resolved into single stars. We strongly recommend to use 2" wide angle eyepieces. Only in this manner, a sense of space emerges when observing large-area deep-sky objects.

Photography: The refractor already comes with a T2 connector, so you can directly adapt your DSLR camera and start into the exciting area of astrophotography.
