Key Features & Benefits

• High-Quality Parabolic Primary Mirror: The 150mm mirror provides bright, high-resolution views, similar to the well-regarded Explorer-150P. This telescope is well-suited for both lunar and planetary viewing, as well as for observing deep-sky objects like nebulae and galaxies.
• Virtuoso GTi Wi-Fi Go-To Mount: Equipped with the Virtuoso GTi mount, the Heritage-150P creates its own Wi-Fi network, allowing direct control via the SynScan App (iOS/Android). No additional Wi-Fi network is required, making it ideal for remote locations.
• Freedom-Find Dual-Encoder Technology: Sky-Watchers patented Freedom-Find Dual-Encoder Technology enables you to manually adjust the telescopes position without losing alignment, offering flexibility during observation sessions.
• Comprehensive SynScan App Features: The SynScan App provides Go-To control, alignment methods (1-star, 3-star, Brightest Star, and North-Level), and features like Tonight’s Best Sky Tour, celestial object identification, remote control over the internet, and user-defined objects.
• Collapsible FlexTube System: This patented design allows for a more compact form factor, making the Heritage-150P easy to transport and store without compromising optical quality.
• Tabletop and Tripod Mounting Options: Designed for tabletop use, the Heritage-150P also features a 3/8″ screw thread on its base, allowing it to be mounted on a tripod for greater flexibility. The Sky-Watcher AZ5 Stainless Steel Tripod (code 20316) is recommended for optimal stability.
