Skywatcher Quattro - for great short exposure astro photos

Skywatcher Quattro Newtonian reflector design telescopes offer impressive astrophotography performance. Capturing images of astronomical objects with a camera is a fascination for many sky watchers. The Skywatcher Quattro telescope is the right tool to satisfy your desire to capture beautiful astronomical images.

The new QUATTRO-150P with a fast f/4 focal ratio has been specially designed for high-quality astrophotography with short exposure times, but is also an excellent telescope for visual observations. The fast f/4 focal ratio allows you to capture a lot of detail even with short exposure times. Maybe you don`t have an expensive high-end mount, or maybe your mount doesn`t track very accurately. Even here, the Quattro OTA is a great choice, as the high amount of light for photography and the ultra-short design are great advantages even with smaller mounts. Quattro telescopes can also be used as wide-field instrument.

Supplied with a custom fitted optically matched M48 aplanatic coma corrector consisting of four objective elements including one ED element. Using the corrector, the focal ratio is shortened to f/3.45.

Supplied with the same linear Crayford focuser as other models in the Quattro series. It uses four precision ball bearings to hold the focuser barrel firmly and precisely and ensures zero image shift even with heavy eyepieces or a multi-frame DSLR camera. Movement of the focuser tube by a roller instead of a gear ensures exceptionally smooth operation, excellent feel and precise adjustment. The 2-speed feature has a second focus knob with a 10:1 speed reduction for ultra-precise focusing. Even the most demanding users will appreciate it.
