The Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-150P is a fantastic choice for
intermediate astronomers and also the serious beginner. With a large 150mm of
light gathering aperture combined with superb parabolic optics, this telescope
is a highly capable all-rounder with excellent performance for the observation
of the Moon, planets, nebulae, galaxies and star clusters.
PARABOLIC PRIMARY MIRRORS
Features High Quality Parabolic Primary Mirrors to eliminate spherical
aberrations inherent in 'fast' focal lengh reflectors with spherical primary
mirrors. The mirrors are parabolized to bring all the light rays to the same
focal point to give sharp, constrasty images, which are full of detail.
SKY-WATCHER DELUXE MIRROR COATINGS
Most reflectors today usually have a coat of aluminium as the mirror surface
and then an overcoat of silicon monoxide or silicon dioxide to protect it. Silicon
dioxide produces a much more durable coat than silicon monoxide but requires
specialized equipment to apply it and is therefore more expensive. Protection
is needed, because in most reflectors, the mirror is open to the elements and
deterioration of the reflective layer reduces the resolution of the telescope.
ALL Sky-Watcher reflectors are Multi-Coated with Silicon Dioxide as standard
for Optimum Durability and Long Term Performance.
