Versatile Newton telescope for planets and deep-sky<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Skywatcher N 150\/750 PDS BD EQM-35<\/strong> Captures a lot of light thanks to its generous 150 mm aperture. You see distant deep-sky objects like the Ring Nebula and the Halternebula clearly. Globular clusters like M13 dissolve into dozens of individual stars. Planets like Saturn, Jupiter and Mars show rich detail. The f\/5 ratio also makes the telescope suitable for astrophotography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharp images with high contrast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The parabolic primary mirror limits diffraction, while the thin secondary mirror blades maintain high contrast. Star points remain small and sharp. The compact design makes the telescope stable even on lighter mounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

PDS DualSpeed focuser for precise focusing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The focuser offers a 1:10 reduction for precision focusing. This is important for astrophotography, but also useful for visual observation. The short tube and larger secondary mirror make the telescope versatile and light sensitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EQM-35 Pro SynScan GoTo mount<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The EQM-35 can be used as a parallactic GoTo mount. You find and track objects automatically through the SynScan software. Remove the DEC axis and use the mount as a photo mount for long exposures. The mount supports telescopes up to 10 kg and is suitable for autoguiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy to use and quickly set up<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The telescope comes with 6\u00d730 viewfinder, 2\u201d 28 mm eyepiece, T-2 thread, tube rings and Dovetail plate. Within minutes it is ready for observation or photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we recommend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2713 Moon and planets: excellent
\u2713 Deep-sky: good for bright objects
\u2713 Astrophotography: suitable for advanced users
\u2717 Nature observation: not ideal
\u2717 Sun: only with filter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
