De 2 inch rack-and-pinion focuser met T2-draad en adapter maakt hem compleet. Reken bij de monteringskeuze op de 8,5 kg buis en de flinke hefboom: EQ5-klasse of zwaarder.<\/p>\n<h2>Wat zie je door de Evostar-150?<\/h2>\n<p>Een 150 mm refractor is een statement: 56% meer licht dan de 120 mm en het soort planeetbeeld waar refractorliefhebbers lyrisch van worden. Fijnstructuur in de banden van Jupiter, de Cassini-scheiding, heldere bolhopen en een maan die op 200x kraakhelder blijft. Dit is de grootste achromaat in het assortiment.<\/p>\n<h2>Losse buis voor de liefhebber<\/h2>\n<p>Een 6 inch refractor is voor veel waarnemers een droominstrument, en als OTA is hij verrassend bereikbaar. De lange buis vraagt om een serieuze montering en een doordachte opstelplek, maar beloont met een planeetbeeld dat in deze prijsklasse zijn gelijke niet kent.<\/p>\n<h2>This is how to get the most out of this telescope<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Almost no cool-down time<\/strong> A refractor lens reaches operating temperature within 10 to 15 minutes, much faster than a mirror telescope. Ideal for short sessions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know what an achromat is:<\/strong> around very bright objects like Venus or the moon's edge, you'll see a thin purplish-blue fringe. That's characteristic of this lens design, it's visually quickly noticeable, and it's the reason why these types of apertures are affordable. For photography, it's the reason to consider an ED refractor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Note the tube length:<\/strong> A good meter refractor plus tripod requires a permanent spot or a spacious trunk. The dew shield on the front makes it even longer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Magnification:<\/strong> het 10 mm oculair geeft 120x; een <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/sky-watcher-6-mm-planetary-uwa-eyepiece-58-125\/\">6 mm planetary eyepiece<\/a> (200x) haalt het maximale planeetdetail naar boven.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Never look directly at the sun without protection.,<\/strong> not even: this is doubly true for a refractor. Only with a certified solar filter on the front.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>For whom yes and for whom no<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Hello<\/strong> If you want the classic, calm refractor image: sharp stars, high contrast on the moon and planets and zero maintenance (no collimation, closed tube). Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/the-best-telescope-for-beginners\/\">Telescope Buying Guide for Beginners<\/a> Place the types side by side.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not<\/strong> voor zwakke deep-sky levert een spiegeltelescoop meer opening per euro.
