Description
Featuring a 52mm enlarged secondary mirror and computerized EQ5 Pro GoTo tracking, the Skywatcher N 150/750 PDS Explorer BD EQ5 Pro SynScan GoTo reflector telescope delivers 0.77 arcseconds Dawes resolving power. Built with a 150mm (5.91 in) parabolic aperture and 750mm focal length at f/5.0, this system reaches magnitude 13.6 for high-stability deep-sky astrophotography and EAA.
The Skywatcher N 150/750 PDS Explorer BD EQ5 Pro SynScan GoTo incorporates an optimized parabolic borosilicate primary mirror with 94% reflective aluminum coatings and an oversized 52mm secondary mirror (34.7% obstruction by diameter). Its 680mm steel tube features a 2-inch dual-speed Crayford focuser with 1:10 micro-reduction. Mounted on an EQ5 Pro computerized GoTo equatorial mount with a tubular stainless steel tripod, the 5.20 kg OTA delivers rock-solid automated celestial tracking.
Key Features of Skywatcher N 150/750 PDS Explorer BD EQ5 Pro SynScan GoTo
Engineered for long-exposure nebula imaging, automated GoTo astrophotography, and mobile EAA, this 150mm Sky-Watcher Explorer PDS telescope pairs parabolic optics with an EQ5 Pro GoTo mount. Its 2-inch dual-speed Crayford focuser and stainless steel tripod provide exceptional stability during imaging runs.
- 150mm (5.91 in) clear aperture with 750mm focal length and fast f/5.0 optical speed
- Precision parabolic primary mirror made from low-expansion borosilicate glass
- 94% reflective aluminum optical coatings with protective silicon dioxide overcoat
- Enlarged 52mm secondary mirror obstruction (34.7% diameter, 12.0% area) for full sensor coverage
- 2-inch dual-speed Crayford focuser with 1:10 micro-gear reduction and 1.25-inch adapter
- Extended in-focus travel providing 55mm backfocus clearance for coma correctors
- EQ5 Pro SynScan computerized German equatorial GoTo mount with stepper motors
- SynScan V5 controller, stainless steel tripod, counterweights, and 28mm eyepiece included
Parabolic Imaging Optics & 52mm Secondary Mirror
The 150mm parabolic primary mirror focuses light accurately to eliminate spherical aberration, while the oversized 52mm secondary mirror prevents edge vignetting across camera sensors. Supported by quiet stepper motors and SynScan GoTo tracking, this Sky-Watcher telescope supports magnifications from 21.4x up to 300x.
EQ5 Pro SynScan GoTo Mount & Stainless Steel Tripod
Long-exposure astrophotography requires high periodic tracking uniformity and rigid platform stability. The Sky-Watcher Explorer 150PDS features an EQ5 Pro equatorial mount with internal stepper motors and a SynScan V5 controller for accurate automated slewing. Supported by a tubular stainless steel tripod, it eliminates vibrations during deep-sky camera exposures.
- Computerized EQ5 Pro equatorial mount with SynScan V5 automated hand controller
- Tubular stainless steel tripod with central accessory tray for maximum dampening
- Included 6×30 optical finderscope paired with a 28mm 2-inch LET visual eyepiece
Sky-Watcher Explorer PDS GoTo Series Warranty
