<\/figure>\nWhat do you see through the 150ED?<\/h2>\n
Planetary images unparalleled in this price range: fine structure in Jupiter's bands, subtle hues on Saturn, a moon that remains crystal clear at 200x magnification, and double stars like drawn pairs of dots. Without central obstruction and without chromatic aberration, this is the refractor image in its purest form; photographically, the tube delivers sharp, color-pure stars.<\/p>\n
EQ6-R Pro: the foundation this optic deserves<\/h2>\n
The meter-long tube needs mass underneath it; the EQ6-R Pro provides that with plenty to spare. SynScan GoTo finds and tracks tens of thousands of objects, damping vibrations immediately, and there is still carrying capacity left for camera experiments on the Moon and planets.<\/p>\n
This is how to get the most out of this telescope<\/h2>\n\n- Virtually no cooling time and no collimation:<\/strong> Within fifteen minutes, you'll be performing at your peak.<\/li>\n
- Dew control is part of it:<\/strong> A dew cap or dew heater protects the large front lens.<\/li>\n
- Take power with you<\/strong> A powertank will keep the EQ6-R going all night.<\/li>\n
- A spacious place pays off:<\/strong> This system can be lifted in parts, but a fixed or semi-fixed setup will make you use it more often.<\/li>\n
