The highly specified Sky-Watcher Heritage -150P VIRTUOSO GTi telescope, has been designed to be controlled wirelessly with your Smartphone or Tablet, using the free SynScan App for iOS or Android. The Virtuoso GTi mounting, with it's built-in WiFi module, creates it’s 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.App control via smartphoneThe Virtuoso GTi and free SynScan App provides full computerised control and object tracking, allowing the telescope to be automatically driven 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.Large Parabolic MirrorFeaturing the same superb Parabolic Primary Mirror as our highly-renowned Explorer-150P, the Heritage-150P telescope is an excellent and capable all-rounder which will provide wonderful views of both the Moon & Planets as well as Deep-Sky Objects. The collapsible patented FlexTube™ system has been incorporated making it even more convenient to transport and store. Versatile and portable Focusing is achieved with a helical focuser keeping the tube assembly light and compact. 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.

Really Smart Telescope Delivery was excellent and communication from Harrison’s was fast. This telescope is really easy to set up, comes completed out of the box with no set up required. It does need a power pack or batteries, but once I’d popped 8 batteries in I was up and running within minutes. (17/10/2023) Paul - Manchester
Excellent scope - some things you might find useful Build the shroud Get the synscan manual Eneloop Pros last 8 hours Includes collimation cap Good eyepieces Easy to detach scope & mount Easy to aim manually Right angle viewfinder - partially collapse the scope Focuser will take a smartphone OK Buy one (19/02/2023) Peter - Southend-on-Sea
Quick delivery, good price Best price I could find, 'Scope delivered quickly. Harrison's advice very helpful when an issue arose that turned out to be inadequate power supply. 'Scope working fine, once collimated, although first light delayed owing to combination of wife's illness and inevitable clouds. (03/07/2022) Steve Penny - Kent
SKYWATCHER HERITAGE 150P VIRTUOSO GTI WIFI DOBSONI Overall, a great wi-fi go-to mount with a Skywatcher Heritage 150P reflector scope. Generally pleased but wasn't aware of the focusing system on this scope, isn't mentioned in the description and had I known, would have chosen another scope. Harrisons Telescopes gave efficient and prompt service. (01/05/2022) Malcolm Thompson - South WalesOur Reply: Apologies - we have now added the focuser type within the description and specifications.
Easy to use telescope Easy to set up and use. Seems like a great telescope for beginners. After a couple of common modifications to enhance use ,away you go. (07/12/2021) -
