Sky-Watcher Explorer 150P (OTA) Newtonian Reflector Telescope High-Performance Optical Tube Assembly for Deep-Sky Astronomy

The Sky-Watcher Explorer 150P (OTA) is a powerful 150mm (6-inch) Newtonian reflector telescope optical tube assembly, engineered for amateur astronomers who are ready to take their stargazing to the next level. Known for its impressive light-gathering capabilities, sharp image clarity, and versatile performance, this telescope is ideal for observing everything from the Moon and planets to deep-sky objects such as galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters.

Whether youre upgrading your current OTA or looking to pair a premium optical tube with a mount of your choice, the Explorer 150P delivers outstanding value and performance in a robust, user-friendly design.

Powerful 150mm Parabolic Primary Mirror for Excellent Image Clarity

At the core of the Explorer 150P is a precision-crafted 150mm (6″) parabolic primary mirror with a focal length of 750mm (f/5). This optical configuration provides a fast focal ratio ideal for both visual astronomy and entry-level astrophotography. The parabolic mirror design reduces spherical aberration, delivering crisp and accurate images across the entire field of view.

Wide Field of View Ideal for Deep-Sky Exploration

The fast f/5 focal ratio allows for wide-field views of the night sky, making this telescope perfect for observing extended deep-sky objects like the Andromeda Galaxy, the Orion Nebula, or open star clusters. It also performs exceptionally well with planetary targets, delivering rich detail on Jupiters bands or Saturns rings when paired with the appropriate eyepiece.

Versatile Optical Tube for Multiple Mount Types

As an OTA-only version (optical tube assembly), the Explorer 150P offers flexibility and compatibility with a variety of equatorial and alt-azimuth mounts, allowing users to build a personalized setup tailored to their observing or astrophotography preferences. Whether mounted manually or with GoTo tracking, the 150P OTA is adaptable to your experience level and goals.

Precision 2-Inch Crayford Focuser with 1.25-Inch Adapter

Included is a high-quality 2-inch Crayford-style focuser, offering smooth, precise focusing for both visual observation and imaging. The included 1.25-inch adapter ensures compatibility with a wide range of standard eyepieces and accessories, expanding your customization options.
