Which Skywatcher Explorer

[Plumb71]

Hi All

Firstly thanks for the advice given on my other post, i  have decided to get a Skywatcher Explorer but i have not got a clue which one, either 130 or 150, i dont know what the letters after the number mean. After quite a bit of research i know i need a decent mount, i also want a smart phone adaptor and a solar filter, based on a Bresser Pollux 150/750 which originally caught my attention, but the reviews of this were poor. Thanks for the time in reading this

The 130 and 150 refers to the aperture size in mm so the 130mm is about 5 inches and the 150mm is about 6 inches.

Happy hunting.

I have a 150 PDS, 150 mm  diameter and 750 mm long (focal length) the S at the end means it shorter then the PD and is better for astrophotography.

I am very pleased with mine!! This photo shows my ED80 mounted on top of the 150PDS!
