The 150P is a fantastic Parabolic Newtonian telescope and comes on a sturdy EQ3-2 mounting and collects plenty of light with its 5.9" (150mm) parabolic mirror. It is an f5 instrument and so is good at deep sky and excellent on planets too! If your budget is limited, or you're not sure of setting up a heavy telescope you will have a great experience with the 130mm (5.1") f5 Wide Field Newtonian Reflector on an EQ2 or EQ3-2 Mounting. It really is a fantastic telescope with nice sharp images. The 150P is a much more interesting beast though! The 150P is of such a size that it will show the detail and the faint stars that you will need to see. The optics are very good in this model and give pin sharp star images. The equipment level is good with SkyWatcher parabolic scopes, with two eyepieces and a 2xBarlow lens (Giving 4 different magnifications - More than enough to start with). The telescope is mounted on a proper equatorial mounting, with 'slow motion knobs', which is easy to set up and will allow you to follow the heavenly bodies more easily. The 150P model is not too heavy to move in and out to the observing site even for teens and it won't break the bank. The only drawback regarding this excellent telescope is the 'Red-Dot' finderscope, which you can, and should replace with at least a 6x25mm, or better still 6x30mm finder (Around £40 - £45 -New). All - in - all, a very good telescope for not a lot of money. Recommended 5*Read full review
