The Sky-Watcher 150/750 Virtuoso GTi Tabletop Dobsonian is a fully computerized telescope designed specifically for beginners and those seeking an effortless observation experience. With its "Bright Object" alignment mode, setting up the mount takes mere minutes, while the computerized SynScan system serves as the ultimate upgrade, enabling automatic pointing and tracking of over 42,000 celestial objects via the SynScan App for iOS and Android. This advanced system means you spend less time searching for faint nebulae or distant planets and more time enjoying the view, making astronomy more accessible than ever before. The mount is conveniently WiFi-controllable using a smartphone or tablet and remains compatible with a SynScan hand controller for smooth, precise tracking.

Boasting a substantial 150mm aperture and fast f/5 optics, this tabletop Dobsonian provides bright, detailed views of the Moon, planets, galaxies, and nebulae. Its innovative collapsible optical tube ensures compact storage and easy transport, making it an ideal companion for travel. A standout feature is the Freedom Find dual encoder system, which allows you to move the telescope manually without losing your computerized alignment. To begin your session, you simply extend the tube, point the telescope using the red dot finderscope, and insert an eyepiece to start enjoying the night sky with professional-grade clarity.

Product Features in Detail

Superior Light-Gathering Ability

The 6-inch mirror is a significant jump in performance from entry-level scopes. It provides enough surface area to begin resolving individual stars in globular clusters and reveals the subtle, glowing structure of distant emission nebulae.

Effortless Wi-Fi Navigation

By generating its own Wi-Fi signal, the Virtuoso GTi eliminates the need for messy cables. You can use the free SynScan app to browse the night sky on your phone; simply tap a target, and the telescope will move to it automatically.

Manual Freedom with Dual Encoders

Most computerized telescopes lock you into using the motors for every movement. Thanks to Freedom Find™, you can unlock the clutches and move the telescope by hand to a different part of the sky for a quick scan, and the computer stays perfectly synced.

Patented FlexTube Design

The optical tube assembly utilizes a sturdy sliding truss system. This allows the telescope to collapse down for easy storage in a cupboard or a car trunk, then extend and lock into place for immediate use without needing to re-align the mirrors.

High-Reflectivity RAQ™ Coatings

Every mirror is treated with Radiant™ Aluminum Quartz coatings. These professional-grade coatings ensure maximum light transmission and protect the mirror surface, providing 94% reflectivity for punchy, high-contrast images.

Versatile Tabletop or Tripod Use

While it is designed for use on any flat surface, the base features a standard 3/8-inch mounting thread. This allows you to attach the entire computerized system to a sturdy tripod if you prefer a traditional observing height in the field.
