Details
The Sky-Watcher 6" 150P Quattro Imaging Newtonian is a versatile telescope designed for astrophotographers and visual observers seeking a fast and bright optical system. Its fast focal ratio allows for shorter exposure times in astrophotography while also delivering impressive views for visual exploration of the night sky.
With a 150mm aperture and a 600mm focal length, this Newtonian reflector excels in capturing rich deep-sky images and detailed planetary views. The telescope features advanced coatings and a carefully engineered optical design to maximize light transmission and image quality.
Exceptional Optical Performance
The Quattro uses parabolic borosilicate mirrors treated with proprietary Radiant Aluminum Quartz coatings, achieving high reflectivity to ensure bright and sharp images. Its oversized secondary mirror enhances illumination across full-frame DSLR and CCD sensors, making it well-suited for astrophotography enthusiasts.
Fast Focal Ratio for Efficient Imaging
With a swift f/3.9 focal ratio, this telescope enables significantly faster image captures compared to traditional slower systems. The included coma corrector further reduces optical aberrations, improving edge-to-edge sharpness, especially beneficial for cameras with APS-C sized or smaller sensors.
Precision Focusing Mechanism
The dual-speed 2-inch Crayford-style focuser offers smooth and accurate focusing control, essential for fine-tuning during imaging sessions and visual observations. Its 11:1 gear ratio allows for delicate adjustments, critical when working at high magnifications or with cameras.
Complete Imaging Package
Alongside the optical tube, the package includes essential accessories such as tube rings, a V-style dovetail mounting plate, eyepiece adapters for 1.25" and 2" eyepieces, a 6x30 finderscope, a 70° ultra-wide 22mm eyepiece, and a dedicated coma corrector/reducer, providing everything needed to get started with astrophotography and observing.
Robust and Stylish Construction
The telescope tube is crafted from rolled steel and finished with a glossy, metal-flake Black Diamond coating, combining durability with an attractive appearance that stands up to regular use in the field.
