Sky-Watcher Heritage 150 Tabletop Dobsonian

Tabletop Dobsonian Base

The tabletop Dobsonian base weighs 15.5 lb and measures 14.75" x 17" (Sky-Watcher USA). You point the telescope by hand in altitude and azimuth; there are no motors or electronics, so you nudge the tube to follow an object as the Earth rotates.

As a tabletop design, the base sits on a table or other raised, level surface.

150mm f/5 Optics

It has a 150mm primary with a 750mm focal length (f/5) and a 48mm secondary mirror.

With the included eyepieces, the 750mm focal length gives 30x with the 25mm and 75x with the 10mm.

Collapsible Tube, Focuser and Accessories

The tube extends to 27" for observing and retracts to 16" for storage, with a 184mm outer diameter. It weighs 8 lb with accessories.

The focuser is a 1.25" helical type (Sky-Watcher USA). Two 1.25" SUPER eyepieces (25mm and 10mm) and a red dot finder are included.

Weight

The tube weighs 8 lb with accessories and retracts to 16"; the base weighs 15.5 lb (Sky-Watcher USA). They carry as two pieces.

Solar Safety

Never point the telescope at the Sun without a proper solar filter securely covering the front of the telescope: looking at the Sun through it will cause permanent eye damage.
