The large mirror with a tall focal length allows the observation of many celestial bodies. Thanks to the catadioptic system (integrated barlow lens) the length of the tube is despite to its tall focal length kept short, that´s why it is well transportable.
But also the mechanic is powerful. The equatorial mount allows every user to target the telescope. All Newton Telescopes have a drawtube on the side of their tube. It offers comfort while observing celestial bodies. Explore the planets within our solar system and discover new worlds.
A large mirror paired with a long focal length make it possible to observe a wide variety of objects in the night sky. Due to the catadioptric system (integrated Barlow lens), the tube length is kept short despite the high focal length and thus the device is still very portable.
The EQ-3: This equatorial mount provides the opportunity to precisely align scopes with Polaris. The correct pole height or geographical latitude can be set for each observation site. Thanks to fine movements along the right ascension and declination axes, objects can be precisely located, followed and kept within the visual field. A counterweight precisely balances the telescope.
The EQ-3 mount provides a solid base for most smaller and medium-sized scopes and is very well suited to spacewalks through the night sky. The tripod is extendible and a shelf provides space for eyepieces and other accessories.

Our expert comment:
Compare: A similar telescope, which is very good value for money, is the Omegon N150/750 EQ-3. You also benefit from a comprehensive accessory kit for getting you started in astronomy.
The 150/1400 EQ-2 Pollux telescope has a long focal length of 1400mm, but a short actual length. This is achieved using a built-in corrector lens that artificially increases the focal length. But this design means that the image quality of the system suffers and is not of such high quality as that of the classical Newtonian telescopes offered by Bresser or Omegon for example. This is particularly noticeable at higher magnifications and when planetary observing. This means that classic Newtonian telescopes are far better value for money than this instrument.
A classical Newtonian telescope, but without the image degrading corrector lens, is the Omegon N150/750 EQ-3
