The optics N 150/1200:

A very good lens for beginners and a must for many years amateur astronomers! This Newtonian reflector telescope collects with its stately diameter of 150mm so much light that distant deep sky objects like the Ring Nebula in Lyra and the Dumbbell Nebula are nicely visible, globular star clusters like M13 can be resolved at the edge in many individual stars. Also, the planetary observation provides detailed images of Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Mars. Through the aperture ratio of f / 8 reflector is this a genuine all-rounder and is suitable for deep sky and planetary observation for both. The light gathering power of the 150s is the 460-fold greater than with the naked eye.

The advantages at a glance:

• compact, portable tube
• good price-performance ratio

You can simply put the tube on a equatorial mount. Dovetail clamps and are already on the tube, so the installation takes a few seconds. The more stable the mount, the better and free vibration of the tube is seated, so we recommend a three-or NEQ NEQ-5 mount (or larger). Through a small secondary mirror and thin struts offers you the high-contrast optics observations.
