How does the GTi 150P compare with a manual 6-inch Dobsonian?

It uses the same 150mm f/5 Newtonian optics but adds a motorized GoTo mount that finds and tracks objects. A manual Dobsonian is simpler and needs no power, but you must star-hop to targets and nudge the tube to follow them.

What can I see with a 150mm reflector?

Craters and mountains on the Moon, Jupiter's cloud belts and moons, Saturn's rings, and brighter deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy and many globular clusters. Faint galaxies and nebulae show as dim smudges under light-polluted skies.

Does it track objects once it finds them?

Yes. After alignment the GoTo mount drives the scope to a target and keeps it centered, which helps at higher magnifications and when sharing the view.

What power does the mount need?

The computerized mount runs on battery power, so plan on fresh cells or a rechargeable pack for longer sessions. Bring spares, since the motors drain power while tracking.

Is it good for astrophotography?

It is fine for short exposures of the Moon and planets with a phone or small camera. The alt-az mount does not rotate with the sky, so long-exposure deep-sky imaging causes field rotation.

The optical tube, the Virtuoso GTi GoTo tabletop mount, a hand controller and the accessories Sky-Watcher ships with this model. Check the included eyepieces and finder before your first session.
