Skywatcher AC 150/1200 EvoStar BD NEQ-5 Pro SynScan GoTo

Description

Combining a large 150mm (5.91 in) Fraunhofer doublet aperture with computerized GoTo tracking, the Skywatcher AC 150/1200 EvoStar BD NEQ-5 Pro SynScan GoTo refractor telescope package provides 0.77 arcseconds Dawes resolving power. Designed with an f/8.0 focal ratio and 1200mm focal length, this system reaches magnitude 13.6 for automated high-resolution planetary imaging and deep-sky observation.

The Skywatcher AC 150/1200 EvoStar BD NEQ-5 Pro SynScan GoTo features an air-spaced Fraunhofer doublet objective with multi-coated CDGM crown and flint optical glass elements. Its 1280mm aluminum optical tube features internal anti-reflection baffles, an unobstructed 0% central profile, and a 2-inch rack-and-pinion focuser with a 1.25-inch adapter. Mounted on an NEQ-5 Pro computerized GoTo equatorial mount with a tubular stainless steel tripod, the 12.50 kg OTA ensures high-precision tracking.

Fraunhofer Doublet Optics & 0.77 Arcsecond Resolution

The 150mm multi-coated Fraunhofer objective controls chromatic aberration effectively across an f/8.0 focal ratio, resolving fine planetary disks, lunar craters, and tight binary stars. Featuring an unobstructed optical profile, this Sky-Watcher telescope supports magnifications from 21.4x up to 300x.

NEQ-5 Pro SynScan GoTo Mount & Stainless Steel Tripod

Automated tracking precision is essential for high-magnification planetary imaging and deep-sky exploration. The Sky-Watcher AC 150/1200 includes an NEQ-5 Pro equatorial mount with quiet stepper motors and a SynScan V5 controller for accurate GoTo navigation. Mounted on a rigid tubular stainless steel tripod, it dampens vibrations effectively during observing sessions.

• Computerized NEQ-5 Pro equatorial mount with SynScan V5 automated hand controller
• 9×50 optical finderscope for clear visual alignment and wide-field target verification
• 2-inch star diagonal with 1.25-inch adapter for flexible visual ergonomics
