## Overview

The Sky Watcher Heritage 150 is a beginner-friendly tabletop Dobsonian telescope featuring a large 150mm borosilicate parabolic mirror with proprietary Radiant Aluminum Quartz coating. Its fast f/5 focal ratio and 750mm focal length deliver bright, high-contrast views of celestial objects. The collapsible tube design maintains optical alignment while enhancing portability, complemented by a stable base with vibration-suppressing rubber feet and smooth Teflon™ bearings. Ideal for amateur astronomers seeking a compact, easy-to-use telescope that doesn’t compromise on performance.

## Description

In 1668, Sir Isaac Newton invented the first reflector telescope. By using mirrors instead of optical lenses, Newton was able to increase the aperture of his telescope while reducing the overall size of the tube, leading to brighter views of the night sky. The Heritage 130 pays homage to this design by honoring some of the great astronomers throughout history: Galileo, Messier, Kepler, Newton, among others. By using a lightweight 150mm parabolic primary mirror and a compact, manual azimuth mount, the Heritage 150 is the perfect blend of portability and aperture, just as Newton intended. Collecting 363% more light than the human eye and 44% more light than the 130mm model, the Heritage 150 uses the same optics as our Classic 150P Dobsonian, but at a fraction of the size and cost. Each mirror is constructed of durable borosilicate glass with our signature Radiant™ Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™)coating. The optical tube uses a unique system that allows it to be collapsed for easy portability and storage while retaining collimation. If you’re looking for a grab-and-go travel telescope that delivers a bold, full size viewing experience, look no further than the Heritage 150. Its lightweight azimuth base uses Teflon™ bearings for smooth, accurate slewing and has an altitude locking knob for steady viewing. The base also features skid resistant, vibration suppressing rubber feet, offering a stabilized view while allowing the telescope to be setup virtually anywhere with minimal vibration, making this telescope the perfect camping companion.

Review: Justo lo esperado, las fotos son a pulso con los oculares que vienen en una noche con nubes
Review: So I am new at astronomy and owned a Astromaster 130. But I did a lot of research watched a lot of videos and Dobs are the way to go for beginners for sure. And it seems the mirror as are really high quality for the price. I love this thing and will be my go to for many years. There is a video on YouTube to make a light shroud and to stable up the eyepiece and both are easy as pie and necessary. Another $20 to do it. But if you are in question just get it you won’t regret. Also on desertcart you can get a decent zoom eyepiece from svbony that is great for the price I think like 30-40 bucks. I bought a $120 10mm eyepiece that’s Astromania and it’s great but very little difference in the view from the SVbony they make good stuff at a beginner price point that won’t let you down and turn you away from looking up in our sky’s. Another thing a 2X Barlow for me at least not yet has been needed it actually distorts the view more than anything. You’re better off using a 7mm eyepiece to get up close or gain distance anyhow I’m still new less than 6 months into astronomy but this is my real life review. This is a great Dob and a great price.

Este é o meu primeiro telescópio e tomei a decisão de adquirí-lo após ver muitos reviews. O Sky-Watcher Heritage é simples, direto e eficiente. À primeira vista ele até parece frágil, principalmente para quem nunca teve um telescópio antes, mas isso é enganoso: trata-se de um projeto pensado para ser leve, portátil e funcional. A montagem é rápida, a base é intuitiva e o uso é muito mais simples do que eu imaginava. Mesmo sendo um modelo de entrada, o desempenho óptico é fantástico para o que se propõe. Logo no primeiro uso, utilizando apenas as lentes originais que acompanham o telescópio, consegui observar Júpiter com clareza — uma experiência emocionante para quem está começando. A imagem ficou bem definida, e isso deixou claro que o conjunto óptico tem qualidade de sobra. Recomendo fortemente para quem quer iniciar na astronomia com um equipamento honesto e capaz, sem frustrações.
