Skywatcher Dobson Telescope Heritage 150P Flextube - 150 mm Aperture

Skywatcher 150 mm (6") Dobsonian - Newtonian Telescope

This compact Sky-Watcher Dobsonian telescope contains the same high-quality parabolic primary mirror as the well-known Explorer 150P. This telescope is an excellent and versatile all-rounder and allows wonderful observations of the moon and planets, but also deep-sky objects. The patented, collapsible FlexTube tube makes it especially easy to transport and requires little space. The manually swivelled Dobsonian includes an alt-azimuth mount that is particularly easy to operate, making it a highly transportable system that you can simply take with you wherever you go. The telescope comes completely assembled in an attractive gift box.

The Heritage 150P is optimized for observation

The Dobsonian has a good parabolic primary mirror. So not only thousands of nebulae, star clusters and galaxies can be observed, but also details on the moon´s surface and planets. Among others are already visible:

Phase structure of Mercury and Venus

Details on the lunar surface, like textures in the crater walls or rilles

The polar caps of Mars

The Great Red Spot of Jupiter

The rings of Saturn with the well-known Cassini division

So easy is the handling of the Heritage 150P

The Heritage is a classic Dobsonian. The operation is therefore very simple.

Place the compact unit on a flat surface

Extend the tube and fix the rods in the outermost position

Insert the eyepiece into the focuser and begin observation.

The focus is adjusted by simply turning the knurled ring on the focuser

With horizontal and vertical panning, you can easily reach any point at the horizon and in the sky.

Upgradable up to a fully-fledged amateur telescope

The Heritage 150P accommodates 1.25" eyepieces and accessories. Among other things, you can use suitable planetary cameras and take your first pictures of lunar craters and planets.

The Newtonian is connected to the alt-azimuth table mount with an EQ5 style dovetail bar. You can attach the telescope to an equatorial mount with tracking at any time without any changes to the telescope. The EQ3 for example holds the light Newtonian very well and offers all possibilities up to automatic object positioning.
