Skywatcher Explorer 150PDS EQ5 GoTo - 150 mm f/5 Newtonian Telescope with Dual-Speed Focuser on Equatorial GoTo Mount EQ5 Pro SynScan
The Skywatcher Explorer 150PDS offers two special advantages for astrophotography. It features a 2" Crayford focuser with 1:10 dual speed for high-precision focusing and offers sufficient space for easy adaptation of all common cameras on the market. Of course, this Newtonian also convinces with the proven, diffraction-limited Skywatcher parabolic optics.

The not too fast reflecting telescope is suitable for observation and photography of many astronomical objects, from the extended gas nebula with little surface brightness over planets and the moon up to the sun (front filter!) - an all-rounder.

The 2" Crayford focuser with gear reduction
The focuser is suitable for professional 2" and 1.25" eyepieces as well as for astro cameras and SLR cameras. 1.25" and 2" adapter are included. You can connect common Newtonian coma correctors and can also get into focus without any problems.

The upscale features and advantages of the BKP1507PDS:
Powerful diffraction limited parabolic mirror
Stable adjustment due to robust metal cells of the main and secondary mirror
2" metal focuser with 10:1 dual speed - with adapter to 1.25"
High-contrast image due to thin secondary spider vanes
Helpful 6x30 finder scope for easy finding of objects
Direct camera connection for parallel photography to the telescope (star field photography)
High speed (f/5) - very practical for astrophotography
A pronounced all-rounder that allows both wide-field observations and observations at high magnification and is even suitable for astrophotography.

Skywatcher EQ5 Pro Synscan - computer controlled GoTo mount
Skywatcher offers with the EQ5 SkyScan Pro a fully equipped mount for transportable telescopes, which is sufficient for the BKP1507PDS even in photographic applications.

The mount offers a completely equipped GoTo system with quiet stepper motors. Due to the ball bearing mounted RA axis, the EQ5 SynScan can be loaded with telescopes swith up to 10 kg weight. The necessary stability is provided also by the height-adjusted stainless steel tripod.

The advantages of the EQ5 PRO SynScan:
complete motorization with dual-axis control via high-quality and quiet stepper motors
automatic exact tracking of the celestial objects
automatic setting of more than 42,900 objects
Autoguiding connector for astrophotography
positioning accuracy of one minute of arc
maxium slew speed 3.4° per second
Periodic Error Correction (PEC)
RS-232 and USB interface
internet-upgradable firmware
modern quick coupling system - as with the GP/EQ mounts

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.
