Skywatcher Heritage 150mm Dobsonian Telescope
$449.00
150 mm optics on a manual tabletop base.
The Sky-Watcher Heritage 150P is a Newtonian telescope for visual astronomy. Its aperture suits lunar detail, planets, star clusters and deep-sky observing; darker skies make faint targets easier to see.
150 mmaperture
Collect light for visual observing
The parabolic primary mirror forms the image you view through an eyepiece. Sky conditions still set the detail you can resolve.
750 mmfocal length
Choose magnification with the eyepiece
Magnification is telescope focal length divided by eyepiece focal length. Start at low power to find and centre a target, then increase it when the air is steady.
Manualmount
Point and follow by hand
Move the telescope up, down and around to find your target, then make small adjustments as it drifts through the field.
Collapse the tube for storage
Extend and lock the tube for observing, then retract it for storage. The collapsing structure reduces tube length; allow room for the base as well when planning storage or transport.
Using the Heritage 150P
Visual observing
Use lower power for larger star fields and higher power for lunar or planetary detail when conditions allow.
Observing conditions
Let the optics approach the outdoor temperature. Steady air and a dark observing location help you make the most of the aperture.
Good to know
Use a stable observing surface
This is a tabletop telescope. Place the base on a rigid, level table or platform at a comfortable viewing height.
Prepare the optics
Allow cooling time before judging fine detail. Check reflector collimation, particularly after transport or assembly.
Keep the Sun out of the telescope
Never point the telescope or finder at the Sun. Unfiltered sunlight can cause permanent eye damage.
