DESCRIPTION:

The Skywatcher 150mm EQ5 Reflector Telescope with Steel Tripod is an excellent reflector telescope for beginners and hobbyists alike. Its impressive 150mm aperture is excellent to gather more light into the telescope, and the scope will work well in revealing deep sky luminaries such as nebulae and galaxies.

At 150mm, the telescope has 33% more light gathering power than a 130mm telescope, and 73% more light than 114mm, making it an excellent scope for beginners who want something just a bit more powerful. Its sturdy EQ3 Equatorial mount makes it easy to follow a star as it moves through the night sky, giving you a comfortable and highly enjoyable viewing experience.
