By using mirrors instead of optical lenses, Newton was able to increase the aperture of his telescope while reducing the overall size of the tube, leading to brighter views of the night sky. The Heritage 130 pays homage to this design by honoring some of the great astronomers throughout history: Galileo, Messier, Kepler, Newton, among others. By using a lightweight 150mm parabolic primary mirror and a compact, manual azimuth mount, the Heritage 150 is the perfect blend of portability and aperture, just as Newton intended. Collecting 363% more light than the human eye and 44% more light than the 130mm model, the Heritage 150 uses the same optics as our Classic 150P Dobsonian, but at a fraction of the size and cost. Each mirror is constructed of durable borosilicate glass with our signature Radiant™ Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™)coating. The optical tube uses a unique system that allows it to be collapsed for easy portability and storage while retaining collimation. If you’re looking for a grab-and-go travel telescope that delivers a bold, full size viewing experience, look no further than the Heritage 150. Its lightweight azimuth base uses Teflon™ bearings for smooth, accurate slewing and has an altitude locking knob for steady viewing. The base also features skid resistant, vibration suppressing rubber feet, offering a stabilized view while allowing the telescope to be setup virtually anywhere with minimal vibration, making this telescope the perfect camping companion.

This is a really fun telescope. I have seen some great views of both planets and deep space objects. It has some struggles to overcome with the open tube and focuser. I wish skywatcher made a baffle for the open tube, it would be cheap and make this telescope more amazing. Both the focuser issues and open tube have DIY tutorials online to help my it even better. Overall it is a great value for a fairly low price. Also if you have limited space in your home it packs up small unlike some larger dobs.

Bought this as a portable scope to take on trips. I do miss my EQ mount, but I may invest in a lightweight, better mount. Finder scope is great. It does hold collimation surprisingly well. Can't really judge the optics but it's been fine AFAICT, can only compare with my Meade and maybe the optics on that dob is sliiightly better, but it's tough to sayScope is very very light. Base is a bit heavy, you can swap it out obv. Starter eye pieces are fine, I have others that I use mostly but I do like the 25 mm it comes with

It functions super well. I made a shroud for the open half following an easy youtube tutorial.

The Sky-Watcher Heritage 150 Tabletop Dobsonian is an outstanding telescope for beginners and casual stargazers. After using it for a few weeks, I can confidently say it delivers impressive performance in a compact and portable design.What I Love:âœ”ï¸ Excellent Optics – The 150mm parabolic primary mirror provides sharp, bright, and contrast-rich views of the Moon, planets, and deep-sky objects. Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s moons, and even the Orion Nebula look stunning!âœ”ï¸ Portable & Collapsible Design – The collapsible tube is a game-changer for easy storage and transport. It holds collimation well, so setup is quick every time.âœ”ï¸ Simple, Stable Mount – The tabletop Dobsonian mount is intuitive to use, even for complete beginners. It moves smoothly and stays stable thanks to its rubber feet that minimize vibrations.âœ”ï¸ Quick Setup – No complicated assembly! It’s basically ready to go right out of the box. Just attach an eyepiece, and you’re set.âœ”ï¸ Great Value for the Price – You get high-quality optics in a budget-friendly package, making it one of the best beginner telescopes in its class.Minor Considerations (Not Dealbreakers):Needs a Sturdy Surface – Since it’s a tabletop design, you’ll need a steady table or flat surface to place it on, or consider a tripod/stand.Manual Tracking – Like most Dobsonians, it’s manual, so you’ll need to move it by hand to track objects across the sky. But honestly, it’s part of the fun!Final Thoughts:If you're looking for a beginner-friendly, high-quality, and portable telescope, the Sky-Watcher Heritage 150 is an amazing choice. Easy to use, powerful optics, and great build quality—this is a telescope that makes stargazing fun and accessible! Highly recommended. âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸

Excelente telescopio, muy buena calidad, buenas vistas de planetas, especialmente Júpiter y sus lunas. Me parece que es de las mejores opciones por su precio.

Bought this for my son and we have both used this on most clear nights. Can see all the craters of the moon close up. Pretty cool. We have also looked at Saturn. Very solid telescope. Would highly recommend
