Returned item: Skywatcher Explorer-150PDS 150mm 750mm f/5 6" Newtonian telescope

The Skywatcher Explorer-150PDS telescope has a 150mm aperture and a 750mm focal length. A 2" Crayford focuser and a 1:10 micro-focuser for precise focusing complement this high-quality instrument. Connecting most cameras and CCD cameras is no problem. A 1.25" adapter is included, allowing the use of 1.25" eyepieces.

The parabolic primary mirror, in combination with the relatively small secondary mirror, ensures good image field correction/focus, resulting in sharpness and high contrast. Therefore, not only is a bright image of deep-sky objects a delight, but the Moon and planets offer a wealth of detail (fine craters and rilles on the Moon, cloud bands on Jupiter, or the rings of Saturn, for example) that will inspire you in every area of ​​astronomical observation.

Due to the versatility of this telescope and its reasonable price, it is also highly attractive for school astronomy programs.


The telescope's versatility and reasonable price make it an excellent choice for school astronomy programs. This Newtonian telescope is versatile and suitable for observing the moon and planets (we recommend a Barlow lens for higher magnifications). It is also powerful enough for exploring deep-sky objects, such as galaxies (M31, the Andromeda Galaxy, or M81 in Ursa Major), the Orion Nebula, or the globular cluster M13.
