SKYWATCHER 150MM (6") F/1200 REFRACTOR TELESCOPE WITH EQ6-R SYNSCAN MOUNT

SKYWATCHER 150MM (6") F/1200 REFRACTOR TELESCOPE WITH EQ6-R SYNSCAN MOUNT

The telescope optics:

Skywatcher Evostar telescopes are classic 2-element air-spaced achromatic refractors. The optics have been multiply coated. They convince with an exceptional, high performance and high resolution and were manufactured to the highest standards with optical and mechanical precision. With the large focal length and breathtaking, diffraction-limited optics, they are ideal for detailed, highly magnified observation of the moon, planets and other objects in the solar system with crisp, high-contrast images.

The mount:

The new, computer-controlled EQ6-R PRO Synscan™ telescope mount is the impressive, evolutionary advancement of a legend that is the EQ6 PRO. The modern, optimized design of the EQ6-R PRO includes new equipment details that will immediately convince experienced astrophotographers:


Increased payload of 20 kg for astrophotography
Belt drive for minimal "backlash" - particularly quiet and smooth operation and better results when "guiding", as well as higher torque of the drive
Improved polar height adjustment with a larger adjustment range (5° to 65°)
Built-in "SNAP" camera control connector
PPEC worm gear and periodic worm error correction function (eliminates the need to constantly retrain the drive)
Integrated carrying handle for easy transport

The included computer-controlled Synscan™ hand control allows the telescope to be aimed at a specific object and offers tours of the current night sky with just the push of a button. The user-friendly menu system allows automatic tracking of over 42,000 astronomical objects in the night sky with its extensive database.
