UK Optical Solutions at Newton Ellis & Co.
EXPLORER-150PDS (EQ3-2)
150mm (6") F/5 Parabolic Dual-speed Newtonian Reflector

The new Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-150PDS range of 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.

Even better performance for astro-photography and visual use
can be achieved when used in combination with Sky-Watcher’s
Newtonian coma corrector (Prod.Code 20233)
