Compact Maksutov for bright planetary images<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Skywatcher MC 150\/1800 NEQ-5<\/strong> is perfect for Moon and planets. The long focal length of 1800 mm gives high magnifications with bright contrast. The meniscus lens corrects color errors and keeps edges sharp so you can see small details easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Skywatcher<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Suitable for Deep Sky<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With 150 mm aperture, this Maksutov captures enough light to view even bright deep-sky objects such as globular clusters. The compact design is easy to carry and puts hardly any strain on the mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Skywatcher<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

High contrast with minimal obstruction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The small secondary mirror reduces obstruction. This means a sharp and clear image. Planets show fine details such as Saturn's rings and Jupiter's cloud bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEQ-5 Pro GoTo mount<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The NEQ-5 Pro GoTo makes aiming and tracking easy. The SynScan hand control helps you track objects automatically, including Moon and Sun (with appropriate filter). The mount is stable, weighing 7.4 kg and dampens vibrations quickly. This keeps your image calm and sharp, even at high magnifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supplied complete<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The telescope comes with 28 mm 2\u2033 eyepiece, 9\u00d750 finder, 2\u2033 \u2192 1.25\u2033 adapter, 2\u2033 star diagonal, steel tripod, counterweights, Vixen-style tube rings, polar finder and stabilizing extension panel. Ready for observation within minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
