The SkyWatcher Newton 150/750 f5 is a 150mm diameter and 750mm focal reflector that offers high performance at a very affordable price. Everything in a lightweight and easy to transport optical tube, with an unexpected optical and mechanical quality for such a low price. This telescope is ideal for those seeking a bright but compact instrument, easily usable with low load capacity mounts such as an EQ5. The optical performance in a visual and photography is remarkable for an instrument in this price range.
- SkyWatcher Newton 150/750 f5 telescope is a D:150mm F:750mm f/5 reflector
- SESTO SENSO 3 is the best robotic focusing motor, great both for visual use and astrophotography
SESTO SENSO 3: the most advanced robotic focusing motor!
This special version of the SkyWatcher Newton 150/750 f5 adds SESTO SENSO 3 — our most advanced robotic focusing motor for rack-and-pinion or Crayford-style focusers, combining high precision, flexibility, and ease of use in a compact Made in Italy design. Connect it to the USB-C port of your EAGLE or Windows® computer to electronically control focus while still allowing you to manually move the focuser without losing position, thanks to the integrated encoder with Automatic Position Recovery. If you prefer wireless operation, you can control it from any smartphone or tablet through the built-in WiFi using the Virtual HandPad interface. The new Self Centering Clamp 2 (SCC2) allows fast and precise installation on many focusers without the need for external brackets or adapters. With its 0.7 micron per step resolution, SESTO SENSO 3 provides extremely accurate and vibration-free focusing — perfect for both visual observation and astrophotography. You can also expand SESTO SENSO 3’s capabilities by adding the ARCO robotic camera rotator, for a fully motorized imaging setup.
SkyWatcher Newton 150/750 f5 with SESTO SENSO and the following optional accessories: 180mm PLUS support rings, Vixen style 240mm PLUS dovetail bar (below the tube), EAGLE with guide scope in parallel (above the telescope) and ECCO environmental module.
SkyWatcher Newton 150/750 f5 very good for visual use and astrophotography
Thanks to the use of SESTO SENSO, you can use the SkyWatcher Newton 150/750 f5 both for visual use (with the SESTO SENSO Virtual Hand Pad you can move the focuser even without a computer and without touching the focuser, this way avoiding any flexure) and for astrophotography (by connecting SESTO SENSO to the EAGLE or an external Windows computer you can control cameras and accessories for the image capture). By adding the optional coma corrector, inserted in the focuser in front of the camera, you can correct coma (the effect that leads to the stretching of the stars towards the edge of the field) without reducing the telescope focal length. This way you can use the SkyWatcher Newton 150/750 f5 in astrophotography even with cameras equipped with large sensors, up to FullFrame.
