Sky-Watcher Explorer-150PL EQ3-2 - 150mm f/8 Newton

Powerful and versatile
The Skywatcher N 150/1200 EQ3-2 is ideal for those who want to explore both planets and deep-sky objects. With a 150 mm Newton mirror, it captures an enormous amount of light, so distant nebulae and star clusters become clearly visible. Planets such as Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Mars show surprising detail. The f/8 focal ratio makes this telescope a true all-rounder: sharp in both deep-sky and planetary observations. You see up to 460 times more light than with the naked eye, bringing stars and nebulae to life.

Razor-sharp and stable tracking
The EQ3-2 mount is sturdy and easy to use. Point it at the Pole Star, turn the fine axes, and your object stays quietly in view. The counterweights keep everything balanced, so vibration is minimal. You can even add a motor kit or GoTo system later to track objects automatically. With a little practice, you'll capture beautiful galaxies and nebulae with your telescope.

Easy to use and portable
The telescope tube is compact and easy to transport. The aluminum tripod is stable and adjustable in height, and the tray provides space for your eyepieces and accessories. Perfect for beginners and advanced users who want a light and practical instrument.

Immediately ready for observation
The set comes with two eyepieces, a 2× Barlow lens, a 6×30 viewfinder and a slow motion cable for accurate tracking. Within minutes, you'll be ready to explore the night sky.
