Skywatcher Startravel 150 Refractor 6" Telescope + HEQ5 PRO SynScan™ GO-TO Equatorial mount KIT #10926/20886
Brand New UK Stock, boxed with full Guarantee
THIS LISTING FOR combined kit as per title
Sky-Watcher STARTRAVEL telescopes are two-element, air-spaced achromatic refractors, that are well proven performers for ‘Rich-Field’ views of comets, star fields, star clusters, nebulae, bright galaxies & planets, the Moon and the Sun (with proper safety filtering!), as well as giving excellent daytime terrestrial views when used with an erecting prism (not supplied with this model). These wide-field, short-tube telescopes are great as fixed aperture lenses for both Astro-photography and terrestrial photography. Their “fast" focal ratios make them useful for capturing lunar and solar eclipses as well as nature photographs.
Magnifications (with optics supplied): x30 & x75
Highest Practical Power (Potential): x300
Objective Lens Diameter: 150mm
Telescope Focal Length: 750mm (f/5)

AIR-SPACED TWO-ELEMENT ACHROMATIC REFRACTORS
An ordinary single lens brings different wavelengths of light to different focal points. All Sky-Watcher Refractors are built with air-spaced two-element lenses, which reduce chromatic aberration more than standard doublet lenses.
