The MESSIER NT-150 is characterized by high stability and a crisp look . The opening of 150mm allows you to observe even smaller nebulae in the vastness of space. Find the remains of a gigantic stellar explosion from 1054 in the constellation Taurus or skim the glowing filaments of the Great Orion Nebula. Spot the famous Firewheel Galaxy in the Big Dipper constellation or find the Dumbbell Nebula in the Foxes constellation. This telescope is just an optical tube, without a mount or tripod.
Please note that “Newton” type reflecting telescopes are very good for astronomical observations in the starry sky, but are not well suited for observing nature and landscapes during the day. We therefore recommend BRESSER lens telescopes for nature and landscape observation.
