SkyWatcher reflector 150/750 BD EQ3-2 dual motor reflector telescope

The SKYWATCHER telescopes of the EQ3 series offer astronomical telescopes of high optical quality for the discerning amateur. The newton reflecting telescopes feature high light gathering capability combined with portability. They are capable of distinguishing outstanding, fine details of solar system and deep sky objects. Their large aperture allows you to observe galaxies, nebulae and star clusters the way you've always wanted to see them.

SKYWATCHER's attention to detail and high standards ensure that the user will always have a telescope in their hands that will give them the most out of their capabilities.

SKYWATCHER is aware that the amateur astronomer places high expectations on the equipment he purchases. In this sense SKYWATCHER has been able to guarantee the satisfaction of the users of its equipment for decades.

The present equipment consists of a newton Black Diamond 150/750mm reflector optical tube with rack and pinion focuser and the EQ3-2 motorized mount. In this version the equipment includes the tracking motor in AR and DEC that allows to counteract the terrestrial rotation to keep the objects fixed in the eyepiece field and thus provide a much more comfortable observation and allows us to perform astrophotography with certain exposure.

SKYWATCHER telescopes supplied with a German equatorial mount are high quality observing platforms with consciously crafted mechanics.
