Powerful refractor for planets and Moon<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Skywatcher AC 150\/1200 HEQ5<\/strong> gives you sharp, bright images of Moon and planets. The 150 mm lens captures a lot of light and delivers high contrast. You'll see Jupiter's cloud bands, the Great Red Spot and Mars\u2019 polar caps clearly. Color errors are limited, keeping your image natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear deep-sky visibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With this aperture, you can also see bright nebulae and star clusters such as the Ring Nebula and M13. Objects not visible to the naked eye appear bright. The telescope collects 460\u00d7 more light than your eye, so faint stars and nebulae come alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practical optics and versatile focuser<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 2\u2033 focuser works with 1.25\u2033 adapter, so you can use either eyepiece size. A 2\u2033 eyepiece gives a wide field of view, ideal for large deep-sky objects. The 9\u00d750 viewfinder helps you find objects quickly. Astrophotography of Moon, planets and bright nebulae is readily available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elegant and robust design<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The black metallic tube and viewfinder look stylish. The Vixen-style dovetail makes quick mounting on the HEQ-5 Pro GoTo mount easy. The telescope is sturdy and stable, but light enough for easy use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HEQ-5 Pro GoTo mount<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The HEQ-5 Pro GoTo mount makes tracking objects easy. You set the pole height and lock it in place. Thanks to the motors and SynScan hand controls, objects follow automatically. This keeps your image stable, ideal for beginners in astrophotography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we recommend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2713 Moon and planets: excellent
\u2713 Deep-sky: well visible
\u2713 Astrophotography: suitable for beginners
\u2717 Sun: only with appropriate filter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
