Skywatcher 150 mm GoTo Tabletop Dobsonian Heritage 150P Virtuoso GTi with Flextube
The highly portable Sky-Watcher HERITAGE-150P (VIRTUOSO GTi) has been designed to be controlled wirelessly with your smartphone or tablet, using the free SynScan App for iOS or Android. The Virtuoso GTi mount, with its built-in WiFi module, creates its very own Wi-Fi network, so the mount can be used anywhere, without any reliance on other WiFi or mobile networks. After entering your coordinates into the app and following a simple alignment procedure, you are ready to explore the universe using the app´s intuitive touchscreen menu.
The Virtuoso GTi and SynScan App provides full computerised GO-TO control, allowing the telescope to be automatically slewed to any one of the objects in the app´s extensive database of 10,000+ celestial objects. Incorporates Sky-Watcher´s Freedom-Find patented Dual-Encoder Technology, which allows the telescope to be moved manually in either axis without the mount losing its positional information. This gives the user enormous freedom, convenience and flexibility during observational sessions.
Versatile quality opticsFeaturing the same superb parabolic primary mirror as the highly-renowned Explorer-150P, the Heritage-150P telescope is an excellent and capable all-rounder which will provide wonderful views of both the moon and planets as well as deep-sky objects.
Space-saving tube on compact mountThe collapsible patented FlexTube system has been incorporated making it even more convenient to transport and store. Designed for convenient use on a tabletop, but equipped with a 3/8" standard tripod bush so can equally be used with an optional tripod making it a versatile choice. The Sky-Watcher AZ5 stainless steel tripod (code 20316) is highly recommended for use with this telescope. Both parts of the telescope can also be used separately. For example, you can also use the telescope tube with the dovetail bar on an equatorial mount, or you can attach another telescope to the Virtuoso mount.
Transportable and easy to useThis telescope is therefore particularly well suited for travel. Also, for example, for youth groups or at school, it is very well suited with its simple operation and high performance. The Heritage-150P Virtuoso GTi is a particularly versatile telescope.
Important note about power supply:
To avoid loss of warranty, please use only the power supplies and mobile supplies recommended by us. Especially simple car batteries or sealed lead-acid batteries can lead to an under-supply, which can then damage the sensitive electronics of the mount. Operating a Skywatcher GoTo mount with a non-proprietary power supply not recommended by us is at your own risk. Thank you for your understanding. Here is the link to more information:
