The SkyWatcher Explorer 150PDS Parabolic Newtonian Reflector incorporates the same superb mirror set as the Explorer-150P Black Diamond Series, but with two significant advantages. A Dual-Speed 10:1 ratio focuser is now included for excellent focusing precision. Also the tube length has been slightly shortened to optimise performance for prime-focus photography. Combined with the EQ3 PRO Goto mount and tripod this complete advanced telescope package excells in astro imaging and visual applications.
Includes 6x30 finder, 25mm Eyepiece, Dual speed focuser and Goto mount & tripod!
The EQ3 PRO SynScan mounts use the same Go-To system found in the HEQ5 and EQ6 PRO SynScan. It allows you to point the telescope at a specific object or even tour the skies at the touch of a button. The SynScan Computer includes a massive 42,900+ night sky objects in its extensive database.
Even better performance for astro-photography and visual use can be achieved when used in combination with Sky-Watcher's Newtonian coma corrector (Prod.Code 20233)
