The Sky-Watcher BKP150750NEQ3 Go-To Light-Bucket. The Skywatcher 150mm Goto Reflector is particularly advantageous for viewing fainter objects in deep-space. The Newtonian reflectors have long been respected by amateur astronomers for their optical quality and ability to gather a lot of light for very modest cost.

Compared to other models, the larger 150mm aperture of this telescope is particularly advantageous for viewing fainter objects in deep-space. Each primary mirror is fabricated to exacting standards of smoothness and optical correction by a skilled optician ensuring premium optical performance.

Aluminum is vacuum deposited on each primary and diagonal mirror surface and then over coated with hard quartz for protection.

Planetary images are very pleasing to view through this instrument, although you may feel solar system imaging with the (152mm lens) appears to pop more because of the higher contrast provided by the refractive lens. In deep-space, the 152mm aperture of the BKP150750EQ3 telescope really starts to show its strengths. Fainter globular clusters appearing as little more than fuzzy snowballs in smaller scopes begin to reveal individually discrete star points. A galaxy's faint central glow should appear brighter. Emission nebulae appear more luminous and more voluminous. Newtonian reflectors while champions of the sky are not recommended for terrestrial applications due to their awkward terrestrial image orientation.
