Skywatcher telescope Evostar-150 150mm / 1200mm f / 8 on NEQ-5 mount

This refractor provides a powerful optics and high resolution for detailed planet observations. The achromatic refractor is one of the larger telescopes with a 150mm aperture. With an opening ratio of f / 8, most color defects are well corrected. As a refractor, it offers a particularly high contrast, which has a positive effect on the observation of planets. In the case of planetary observation, On the sighting of individual deatils, such as the polar caps of Mars or the large red spot of Jupiter. There is nothing to prevent a quick trip through the solar system. In addition, numerous deep-sky objects, such as the ring fog or the distant ball star cluster M13 are visible. With 460-fold light collection capability, it shows objects that can not be seen with the naked eye. This unit has a 2 "eyepiece extension including a 1.25" reduction adapter. Both ocular dimensions can thus be used. With a 2 "eyepiece you reach the largest possible facial fields. For example, a 40mm 2" eyepiece with a 72 ° field of view provides a sky section of 2.8 degrees. Large deep-sky objects fit well into the face. The 9x50 search telescope is mounted parallel to the main tube and offers a good search possibility for the objects. Astrophotography can also be operated with the telescope. Moon, planets and even most of the fog objects can be photographed by this optics.

The advantages at a glance:


Light-strong refractor
Contrasting image
2 inch eyepiece pullout
Prism rail for fast assembly of the optics
9x50 search telescope


The mount NEQ-5:

This mount is a further development of the EQ-5 in white design. It is a solid base for most of the larger optics and is very well suited for beautiful walks in the night sky. If the parallactic mountings have been aligned on the polarisers, you can easily aim at an object, set it and follow with the rotary knobs. Fine adjustments are possible in the right ascension and declination. The pile height of the observation point can be set via a fine screed scale and can be fixed with two screws. Electric tracking motors with one control can be retrofitted for both axes: the NEQ-5 is not only suitable for visual observation, but also for the entry into astrophotography. With optional extensions such as the engine set or the GoTo upgrade kit, long-term exposure is also possible. With a little practice, images of nebulous objects and galaxies can be achieved.
