Product Description
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 EQ3-2 mount and tripod this complete telescope package excels in astro imaging and visual applications.
