Skywatcher 150 Evostar Old Blue one Weight?


Recommended Posts

Depends if it has the collimatable objective cell or not. The collimatable cell adds fair bit to the overall weight and makes the scope somewhat top end heavy.

I've owned both types and I seem to recall that they came in at around 9kg - 10kg depending on the cell design. That would include tube rings, a dovetail bar and the finder and diagonal.

I'm talking about the F/8 ones here.

If you are looking at matching to a mount remember that the tube length with the F/8's presents more of a challenge to a mount that it's weight.

Are we talking about the refractor? Or reflector? Skywatcher makes both

The refractor versions r 21 to 22lbs with rings and bar.

Relector 6 inch f5 is about 10 to 12 lbs

Yup, the Evostar range are the refractors.
