Sky-Watcher Startravel 150 OTA – 150mm f/5 Achromatic Refractor

Sky-Watcher Startravel 150 OTA – 150mm f/5 Achromatic Refractor

DESCRIPTION

The Sky-Watcher Startravel 150 OTA is a fast achromatic refractor featuring a 150 mm aperture and a focal length of 750 mm (f/5), using a two-element air-spaced objective. It delivers bright, expansive views of wide star fields, open clusters, nebulae, and bright galaxies, making it an excellent instrument for panoramic sky scanning and casual deep-sky observing.

Due to its optical configuration, this telescope is not intended for high magnification work, as chromatic aberration becomes noticeable. However, its strength lies in its low to medium magnification performance and wide-field capability.

Included in the package are a 9x50 finderscope, two 1.25" eyepieces (10 mm and 25 mm), a 1.25" star diagonal, tube rings, and a Vixen-style dovetail bar. The dual-fit focuser accommodates both 2" and 1.25" accessories. A built-in T-thread allows DSLR connection (T-ring not included), suitable for wide-field astrophotography.
