Sky Watcher Skyliner 150P Classic Dobsonian Astronomy Telescope

Built around a 150mm Newtonian reflector optical tube and a 1200mm focal length, the Sky-Watcher Skyliner 150P Classic Dobsonian offers a straightforward manual setup for lunar, planetary and deep-sky observation. Its Dobsonian alt-azimuth mount uses balanced, friction-based movement in both altitude and azimuth, allowing the telescope to be guided by hand and remain in position when released.

Parabolic primary and secondary mirrors support clear, high-contrast viewing, while Sky-Watcher’s Radiant Aluminium Quartz coating provides up to 94% reflectivity. A silicon dioxide multi-coating adds long-term durability. Supplied with 12.5mm and 20mm 70 wide angle eyepieces, the telescope delivers x96 and x60 magnification respectively, and also includes a 1.25-inch eyepiece adaptor with a brass compression ring, a 6x30 finderscope and a universal smartphone adaptor. This classic format suits beginners looking for a manual telescope that is quick to assemble and easy to handle.
