TS-PHOTON 150/750 mm Advanced Newtonian for astrophotography and observation
This versatile Newtonian reflector telescope from the TS-PHOTON series captures a lot of light and provides extensive features, which you will rarely find in this price range. 150 mm aperture reveals thousands of deep-sky objects with many details. Resolve star clusters into single stars or observe details of well-known nebulae. Thanks to the high-quality parabolic primary mirror the Newtonian also reveals many details on the moon´s surface and on planets. Vor visual observing, we suggest the TSV235 2" 35 mm extension tube.

Astrophotography is also possible with this telescope. The generously-rated secondary mirror offers a very good illumination. Rather than corner-vignetting the telescope shows light and information. The high-quality 2" Crayford focuser (ball bearings) accepts all common coma correctors. Micro transmission allows precise focusing and sharp stars. These features makes this telescope an ideal astrograph for astrophotography.

A superb beginner´s telescope
Thanks to its convenient handling and its solid build, this PHOTON Newtonian is ideally suited for beginners. For this Newtonian telescope we recommend the Skywatcher mount EQ3 or EQ5. You find both mounts in our accessory section below. From the outset you achieve wonderful observations of moon and planets, but also of nebulae and galaxies with this telescope. Later on this Newtonian can be upgraded with accessories, such as coma correctors for astrophotography or even binoviewers. The PHOTON Newtonian fits your needs.

General information and features of TS-PHOTON Newtonian Telescopes:
Light-gathering parabolic optics with outstanding contrast and very good sharpness for planetary observation
High-quality 2" Crayford focuser for 2" and 1.25" accessories - with dual speed
Focal plane position ideal for DSLR and other cameras
All common 1.25" and 2" eyepieces can be used without problems
Brighter image due to 94% reflection coating on primary and secondary mirror
Motorfocus can be upgraded later at all times.
A 0.5 mm thin secondary mirror spider made of stainless steel provides stability. Astrophotographers will envy you for your sharp stars and needle-fine spikes.
Adjustable primary mirror holder and secondary mirror holder completely made of metal.


More joy with astrophotography due to optimal field correction - advice service by Teleskop-Service
A good coma corrector makes this Newtonian an astrograph. We recommend the TSGPU corrector, which is perfectly adapted for this Newtonian. It will offer maximum sharpness across the whole field; the TSGPU makes this TS-PHOTON a true astrograph. An example image from our customer Francesco Fidora can be seen above in the product images section. It shows M81 and M82 as LRGB image with 20 hours integration time. Congratulations on the beautiful image!

The working distance from the M48 thread is 55 mm. With a T-ring you automatically reach the right distance for astrophotography with DSLR cameras. We can offer you suitable adaptations for your astro cameras as part of our advice service at all times.

Question:
What is the function of the six screws behind the primary mirror?

Answer from Teleskop-Service:
The six screws are for the adjustment (collimation) of the primary mirror. The small screws with the slit fix the position. With the bigger screws you can adjust the collimation. And this is how it works:
Loosen the screws with the slit.
Adjust the primary mirror with the adjustment laser using the bigger screws (with internal thread).
When the desired result is achieved, tighten the screws with the slit minimally. A light pressure is sufficient.




Question:
Can the focuser be exchanged??

Answer from Teleskop-Service:
Often an eyepiece focuser with a micro-reduction is preferred, especially for astrophotography. The original focuser can be exchanged. We have linked focusers with the appropriate ring dovetail in the accessories section. The conversion is simple.
Loosen the two grub screws at the base on the tube.
Take out the old focuser and put in the new focuser. Please make sure that the focuser sits flat on the base.
Then tighten the two grub screws again.

"Schrauben lose, ansonsten perfekt"

Written by Erm Conti
on 2021-09-10

A couple of months ago I bought this telescope and I have a better opinion about this scope now. Although the goal is to image deepsky, I was surprised about how well planetary imaging went. I imaged Jupiter and saturn and must say I was surprised by the detail. It holds collimation well, I only collimate once a time before an imaging session. Focusser once tightened it holds position ( I upgraded to the 1:10 focusser) firmly. I replaced the delivered finder with a RD finder as for me it works very well.
