Description

Sky-Watcher Heritage-150p Flextube (Virtuoso GTi) Telescope featurs the same superb Parabolic Primary Mirror as Sky-Watcher highly-renowned Explorer-150P, the Heritage-150P telescope is an excellent and capable all-rounder which will provide wonderful views of both the Moon and Planets as well as Deep-Sky Objects. The collapsible patented FlexTube system has been incorporated making it even more convenient to transport and store.

The highly portable Sky-Watcher Heritage-150p Flextube (Virtuoso GTi) Telescope has been designed to be controlled wirelessly with your Smartphone or Tablet, using the free SynScan App for iOS or Android.

The Virtuoso GTi mounting, with it's built-in WiFi module, creates it's very own Wi-Fi network, so the mount can be used anywhere, without any reliance on other WiFi or mobile networks. After entering your coordinates into the App and following a simple alignment procedure, you are ready to explore the universe using the App's intuitive touchscreen menu.

The Virtuoso GTi and SynScan App provides full computerised GO-TO control, allowing the telescope to be automatically slewed to any one of the objects in the App's extensive database of 10,000+ celestial objects. Incorporates Sky-Watcher's Freedom-Find patented Dual-Encoder Technology, which allows the telescope to be moved manually in either axis without the mount losing its positional information. This gives the user enormous freedom, convenience and flexibility during observational sessions.

Designed for convenient use on a tabletop, but equipped with a 3/8" standard tripod bush so can equally be used with an optional tripod making it a versatile choice. The Sky-Watcher AZ5 Stainless Steel Tripod (code 20316) is highly recommended for use with this telescope.
