The Sky Watcher telescope features a Newtonian system with a 150-millimeter parabolic primary mirror. The device offers a bright and clear image, which will prove useful when observing craters on the Moon's surface and bright comets.
The telescope collects about 320 times more light than the human eye at night, providing the ability to observe objects up to nearly 12-13 stellar magnitudes (with naked eye visibility up to 6 stellar magnitudes). The size of the mirror is also related to the optical resolution, which in this telescope makes it possible to resolve stars that are more than 0.9" apart.
The telescope is equipped with a precision Crayford eyepiece extractor that allows the use of 2" and 1.25" eyepieces. A high-quality Barlow lens combined with a 1.25" eyepiece gives twice the magnification.
The EQ3-2 parallactic mount equipped with micromotion allows you to position the telescope according to an atlas or sky map and move smoothly in the axis of rectascension and declination. It is an improved head with higher load capacity and better stability than EQ1.
The kit includes:
- 1.25" Super 25, Super 10 eyepieces,
- 2 x Barlow lens with T2 adapter,
- 6x30 finder.
