Fast and clear view of the sky
The Skywatcher AC 150/750 150 EQ5 lets you instantly see bright images of the Moon, planets and deep sky objects. With a large 150 mm aperture, it captures a lot of light, so fainter objects become visible. You see instant detail in the cloud bands of Jupiter or the rings of Saturn. You aim, focus and enjoy the image.
Large field of view for deep-sky
The short focal length of 750 mm (f/5) allows you to see large areas of the sky at a glance. Ideal for nebulae, star clusters and comets. Your objects fit harmoniously into their surroundings. This makes finding and tracking objects easy and enjoyable.
Light sensitive and high contrast
The achromatic Fraunhofer lenses reduce color errors and provide a clean, high-contrast image. Perfect for both visual observation and astrophotography. Your image remains clear and sharp even during long observations.
Flexible focuser for wide eyepieces
The 2″ focuser lets you use wide eyepieces for a wide field of view. The 1.25″ adapter allows you to continue using all your smaller eyepieces. This makes it easy to adapt the telescope to your preference.
NEQ5 mount for stable tracking
The EQ5 mount is sturdy and offers precise control. After alignment to the Pole Star, you track objects smoothly with the dials. You keep them stable in view, without vibrations. Later you can add motors or GoTo for astrophotography with longer exposure times.
Ready to use immediately
The telescope comes complete with 9×50 viewfinder, 25 mm and 10 mm eyepieces, 2″ zenith mirror and accessories. Within minutes you are ready to observe. Perfect for advanced observers who want quick results.
