N 150/1200 Telescope
The N 150/1200 Telescope is an exceptional instrument for beginners and a true must-have for experienced amateur astronomers. This Newtonian reflecting telescope features a generous 150mm diameter that collects ample light, bringing distant deep-sky objects (DSOs) like the Ring Nebula in Lyra or the Dumbbell Nebula into beautiful, clear view. Globular clusters such as M13 resolve into a multitude of individual stars at their edges, while planetary observation provides rich detail when viewing Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, and Mars. Thanks to its f/8 focal ratio, this reflector operates as a genuine all-rounder suitable for both deep-sky and planetary observing. Its light-gathering capacity is an impressive 460 times greater than that of the naked eye.
Key Advantages
- Compact and portable optical tube assembly (OTA)
- Excellent value for money
Product Description
The telescope is paired with the NEQ-3 Pro GoTo mount, which represents a further evolution of the EQ-3 Pro in a sleek white design. It provides a highly solid platform for most medium-sized telescopes and is excellent for exploring the night sky. The polar elevation at your specific observing site can be set using the integrated fine scale and adjusted perfectly via two fine-tuning screws. A polar finder scope can also be retrofitted if needed. Fully equipped with motors in both axes and a SynScan hand control box, this complete GoTo mount configuration makes the NEQ-3 ideal not only for visual observing but also for getting started in astrophotography. With a little practice, you will soon be able to produce successful images of distant galaxies and nebulae. SkyHunters is one of the leading telescope suppliers, and our expert customer service team is always happy to assist you with assembly or operation post-purchase.
