Sky-Watcher 6" Table Dobsonian Heritage 150 Collapsible Newtonian

The Sky-Watcher 6" Table Dobsonian Heritage 150 Collapsible Newtonian is a powerhouse of portability, featuring a generous 150mm aperture and a 750mm focal length. This Newtonian optical design utilizes a parabolic primary mirror and an f/5 focal ratio to deliver impressive light-gathering capability, providing clear and detailed views of deep-sky objects like nebulae and star clusters. Designed with convenience as a priority, the telescope and mount come fully assembled and ready to use straight out of the box. Its patented collapsible tube allows the instrument to fold down to a height of just 56cm with a total weight of 7.15kg, making it an extremely portable and hassle-free choice for those who want to start exploring the night sky almost immediately.

With a resolving power of 0.92 arcseconds and a highest practical magnification of 300x, this telescope offers excellent performance for both visual observation and entry-level imaging. For those interested in astrophotography, the Heritage 150mm comes pre-threaded for M42, allowing for direct compatibility with DSLR cameras or selected astroimaging cameras to capture stunning celestial images. The setup is further enhanced by a 1.25-inch helical focuser for precise adjustments and a red dot finderscope to help you easily locate and track targets. Whether you are new to the hobby or looking for a reliable travel telescope, the Heritage 150 provides a versatile and easy-to-use solution for deep-sky exploration.

Product Features in Detail

Massive 6-Inch Light-Gathering Power

With a 150mm aperture, this telescope gathers 459 times more light than the human eye. It is large enough to reveal the spiral structure of distant galaxies and resolve individual stars in globular clusters, providing a significant leap in performance over standard beginner scopes.

Patented Flex-Tube™ Design

The innovative collapsible truss system allows the optical tube to retract for easy transport and storage. Unlike other truss telescopes, this design is built to maintain its optical alignment, so you can extend the tube and start observing immediately without needing to re-align the mirrors.

High-Contrast Parabolic Mirror

To ensure professional-grade imagery, the Heritage 150P utilizes a parabolic primary mirror. This specialized shape eliminates "spherical aberration," focusing all light to a single pinpoint to provide the high contrast needed for viewing Jupiter’s Red Spot and Saturn’s rings.

Altitude Tension Adjustment

The mount is equipped with a specialized tension knob on the altitude (vertical) axis. This allows you to increase the friction when using heavy eyepieces or cameras, preventing the telescope from drifting downward while still allowing for smooth manual tracking.

Astrophotography Compatible

The focuser is uniquely designed with built-in M42 threads. By attaching a simple T-ring, you can connect a DSLR camera directly to the telescope, effectively turning it into a powerful 750mm telephoto lens for capturing stunning photos of the Moon.

Compact Tabletop Footprint

Despite its impressive focal length, the telescope's tabletop design eliminates the need for a bulky tripod. It is perfectly weighted to sit on a picnic table or a balcony rail, offering a stable, vibration-free viewing experience that is easy for the whole family to use.
