Skywatcher Explorer 150PDS EQ3 - 150 mm f/5 Newtonian Telescope with Dual-Speed Focuser on Equatorial Mount EQ3-2
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.

The equatorial mount EQ3-2
This equatorial mount from Skywatcher is very well suited for mobile use, but also a solid base for astrophotography. With suitable drives you can successfully take pictures of the moon, planets, nebulae and galaxies. For visual use, manual fine adjustment using the supplied flexible shafts is sufficient.

Astrophotography with the EQ3-2:
A mount that is to be used for photography, especially for taking pictures of nebulae and galaxies, has to meet some requirements. The EQ3-2 meets these requirements:
a fine tuning in latitude and azimuth for a very precise polar alignment of the mount.
a mounting option for the polar finder scope - an effective way of fast and accurate polar alignment. You save yourself the time-consuming tuning
the possibility of retrofitting a 2-axis drive - this is important because corrections are necessary for longer exposure times. But you must not touch the mount during the exposure - so the adjustment must be done by motor.

Comments from Teleskop-Service on the mount EQ3-2
In our opinion the mount is somewhat undersized for photographic use. Therefore we recommend the mount EQ5 (see recommended accessories) as a more stable base. This mount holds the telescope with much better stiffness and allows more fun and pleasure when observing. Gladly we make you an offer with the EQ5.
