The optics of the 150/750:
A 'fast' aperture ratio of 1:5 makes this a telescope with a lot of light gathering power, which can already show a lot of detail in objects observed. The light gathering ability of the human eye is exceeded here by a factor of around 600. Globular clusters, such as M13 or M92, can be resolved right down to their centres. Many galaxies can be observed. Gaseous nebulae, such as the Omega or Orion nebula, show filaments and become magnificent summer and winter sky objects with this telescope.
Also, the planets reveal some of their secrets. For example, you can observe and follow the cloud bands of Jupiter which carry the Great Red Spot over the planet. The shadows cast by the larger moons of Jupiter are also visible with a 150mm aperture.
You can even start astrophotography and take your first photos - of the moon for example.
If you are looking for a fast, but nevertheless very compact telescope, then this size of telescope is exactly right.
The advantages in a nutshell:
- high resolution with the 150mm aperture
- 1.25" focuser with large range of focus
- simply location of objects
- adjustment screws for secondary and main mirrors
- compact 66cm length
- outside tube diameter 185mm
The Orion AstroView mount: comfortably track celestial objects
The Earth is constantly moving, and stars, planets and deep sky objects appear to wander across the sky.
Take advantage of this parallactic mount: once you have aligned the AstroView with the North Star, you can easily find an object and keep it in the field of view with the tracking axis.
For this purpose, you will find rotary knobs on each axis for precise fine movement. Correct the Earth's rotation yourself, even at maximum magnification. This makes even hours of observation under the starry sky absolutely relaxing.
One profile for many telescopes
The Astroview mount has a GP prism mount. This means that you can quickly and easily mount and remove your telescope optics or even attach another tube weighing up to 6 kg – all with just one mount.
Integrated pole finder
Would you like to take your first steps in astrophotography? The mount has a built-in pole finder telescope. This allows you to easily align the entire telescope with the north celestial pole and take photos with short lens focal lengths. Gain some initial experience – perhaps sky photography is right up your alley. Find out for yourself.
Height-adjustable aluminium tripod
The aluminium tripod is height-adjustable and can therefore be used by adults and children. In the centre of the tripod is a crossbar with a practical accessory tray.
