The Explore Scientific 150mm/750mm Reflector Telescope excels with high rigidity, superior built quality and tack-sharp parabolic optics.
The 150mm aperture enables you to observe bright nebulas in the depth of space. Find the remnants of a gigantic stellar explosion from the year 1054 in the Taurean constellation, or scan the glowing bands of the great Orion Nebula. Detect the famous Whirlpool Galaxy in the Big Dipper or find the Dumpbell-Nebula in the constellation Vulpecula (little fox).
The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 150 is also equipped with a large 2.0'' focuser which allows the use of 2.0'' eyepieces and 2.0" barlows with even larger fields of view. The included eyepiece adapter 2.0'' to 1.25'' allows the use of all 1.25'' eyepieces. EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC has not spared any expensse and also equipped this telescope with a high-quality parabolic primary mirror. This offers a much better image in sharpness and contrast than a comparable telescope with a simple spherical mirror. In addition, this telescope has a particularly large secondary mirror for maximum illumination of the image field.
PLEASE NOTE
Reflector telescopes with optical design “Newton” are very good for astronomical observing at the starry night sky. But these telescopes are not well usable for observing landscape and nature during daylight.
FEATURES
