The SkyWatcher Explorer 150PDS Parabolic Newtonian Reflector incorporates the same superb mirror set as the Explorer-150P Black Diamond Series, but with two significant advantages. A Dual-Speed 10:1 ratio focuser is now included for excellent focusing precision. Also the tube length has been slightly shortened to optimise performance for prime-focus photography.Radiant Aluminum Quartz (RAQ) Mirror CoatingPrimary mirror and secondary mirror with Radiant Aluminum Quartz (RAQ) coating providing up to 94% reflectivity with optimal durability and long term performance.

Ideal for astro photography As usual excellent service from Harrisons, arrived the day after ordering. Excellent scope with a very good dual speed focuser. A little disapointed in the lack of compression ring adapters for the eyepiece fittings on the focuser. Suppose the cheaper screw type adapters keep the overall price down (08/12/2021) Paul Suchi - West Yorks
Good value for dual photography/visual Bought this as an upgrade to my old 130mm Celestron. Good for the money, with a decent focuser. The first had a small bend in the spider vanes, but Harrisions had it replaced promptly. 4 stars as scope was not collimated, but managed to do that quite easily. Excellent service from Harrisons.
