Sky-Watcher Explorer 150P-DS f/5 Newtonian for astrophotography

DESCRIPTION
This reflector telescope includes a 150 mm parabolic mirror and 750 mm focal length (f/5). With 33% more light-gathering than a 130 mm, it delivers brighter views. The shortened tube brings the secondary mirror closer for easier DSLR focus. The dual-speed 10:1 Crayford focuser (1.25"/2") allows precise focusing. A coma corrector is recommended for optimal astrophotography performance. A DSLR camera can attach directly via the focuser’s T-thread using a T-ring, or M48 ring if a coma corrector is used.
