There are few telescopes that can be said to be universal – the BKP 150\/750 EQ3-2 definitely belongs to this group.\u00a0The main element of the telescope is a large parabolic mirror with a diameter of 150 mm (6 inches) and a focal length of 750 mm.\u00a0The telescope is equipped with a precise Crayford eyepiece extractor with a diameter of 2 “with a reduction to 1.25” enabling the use of almost all glasses available on the market.\u00a0This type of extractor is an innovative design that allows for much more precise focusing and works more smoothly than standard rack extractors.\u00a0In addition, the extractor has a T-2 thread, to which, thanks to additional reductions, we can mount a “SLR” type camera. Sky-Watcher is a leading brand on the astronomical equipment market.\u00a0The purchase of this company’s equipment gives the possibility of further expansion and retrofitting of the telescope with many accessories without fear of incompatibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Optical system
\n<\/strong>It is a Newtonian reflecting telescope.\u00a0Due to its high brightness, it is especially recommended for observing deep sky objects such as star clusters, galaxies or nebular objects.\u00a0At the same time, this model allows the use of high magnifications, making it also perfect for observing planets and the moon.<\/p>\n

The main advantage of this telescope is a large parabolic mirror with an aperture of 150 mm and a focal length of 750 mm.\u00a0Due to the relatively short focal length, the telescope allows for a very large field of view.\u00a0This telescope collects about 320 times more light than the human eye at night, providing the ability to observe objects up to nearly 12-13 magnitudes (with naked eye visibility up to magnitude 6).\u00a0The size of the mirror is also related to the optical resolution, which in this telescope allows it to separate stars that are more than 0.9 \u201dapart.<\/p>\n

In addition, the telescope includes a Barlow lens, which, in combination with an eyepiece with a diameter of 1.25 “, will give us a double increase in magnification. The equipment of the telescope should be supplemented with additional eyepieces: one with a short focal length of approx. 4-5 mm for planetary observation and one two-inch wide-angle, approx. 25-30 mm, enabling the survey of the sky or observation of vast nebular objects.<\/p>\n

Installation
\n<\/strong>It is an assembly worth recommending, stable and still quite mobile at the same time.\u00a0The EQ3-2 receives excellent ratings from astronomy enthusiasts.\u00a0It is characterized by reliability and precision with a rich offer of various functions, useful for any advanced astronomer.\u00a0The mounting head rests securely on a sturdy, adjustable aluminum tripod with a useful accessory shelf.\u00a0Precision micromovement knobs allow for accurate, manual tracking of objects in the sky.\u00a0The assembly mechanics of the EQ3-2 are constructed on the basis of special worm gears, enabling precise control of the movement in both the right ascension and declination axes.<\/p>\n

For assembly, you can use drives in one or two axes or we can convert the assembly into a full Go-To system that enables automatic tracking and tracking of objects.\u00a0The EQ3-2 is the lowest mounting model that has a place for a polar finder.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Extract
\n<\/strong>The telescope is equipped with a precise Crayford eyepiece extractor that allows the use of 2 “and 1.25” eyepieces.\u00a0Compared to standard rack lifts, found in similar telescopes from other manufacturers, Crayford lifts offer greater precision and smooth operation.\u00a0The set includes two 1.25 \u201dglasses.<\/p>\n

Astrophotography<\/strong><\/p>\n

The BKP 150\/750 EQ3-2 telescope is the first telescope that can be successfully used in astrophotography, thanks to the robust EQ3-2 mount, which has great expansion possibilities.\u00a0Thanks to the f \/ 5 aperture it is possible to obtain interesting effects even with a relatively short exposure time.\u00a0In addition, the short 750mm focal length makes photos less prone to inaccurate editing.\u00a0An additional advantage of this telescope is the two-inch eyepiece extractor.<\/p>\n
