Pack Maksutov-Cassegrain SkyWatcher 150/1800mm Telescope with NEQ3-2 mount with personalized initiation course
IN TELESCOPIOMANIA WE OFFER YOU NOW TOGETHER WITH YOUR TELESCOPE, OUR PERSONALIZED COURSE OF INITIATION IN ASTRONOMY AND USE OF YOUR MANUAL TELESCOPE.
The Maksutov-Cassegrain type catadioptric optical tubes have always stood out for their enormous contrast capacity and magnification power. In addition, since their optical system is based on integrated mirrors, Maksutov-Cassegrain tubes are free of any type of chromatic aberration. This makes them an ideal alternative to the classic achromatic refractors as they improve them in the aspect of chromaticism.
On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that the SKYWATCHER Maksutov-Cassegrain model presented here has a Maksutov corrector plate made of the highest quality glass. The result is undoubtedly a guarantee of success.
The NEQ3-2 mount is the perfect instrument for beginners in visual observation.
For amateurs interested in visual observation with a telescope up to 150 mm in diameter, the NEQ3-2 mount allows quality observations with very little vibration. The more massive HEQ5 Go-Pro Goto version would be a better choice for those who wish to get started in long exposure astrophotography.
The NEQ3-2 mount supports beginner newton telescopes up to 150 mm diameter (5 kg maximum) or refractors up to 100 mm diameter. It has fine azimuth and altitude movements to facilitate stationing and object location and to compensate for the Earth's rotation (to keep the object in the center of the eyepiece).
The optical tube is adapted by means of a dovetail type Vixen. A polar finder (optional) can be attached to improve the accuracy of the stationing process.
