About this product

This version of the popular Explorer 150P has a longer tube length to achieve higher magnification and contrast - properties that will appeal to planetary and lunar enthusiasts. 

Includes a Sky-Watcher EQ3-2 Deluxe GEQ mount and tripod. 

"Many contemporary observers severely underestimate what a quality telescope of this size is capable of revealing.

The fit and finish of the Explorer-150PL is typical of Sky-Watchers contemporary products - in other words, extremely good for the money. The rigid yet lightweight rolled steel tube has an unobtrusive seam and the gorgeous slightly metallic sky blue paint finish contrasts nicely with the rounded black tube end castings.

M13, the great Hercules globular cluster, was a magnificent sight despite urban light pollution with resolved components across the core with innumerable peripheral stars. Verdict: a reborn classic that I can't recommend highly enough for the price.."
