The Sky-Watcher USA Heritage 150mm f/5 Tabletop Reflector AZ Telescope has an ideal combination of power and portability for general all-around astronomy. The telescope is built using a truss tube system that allows the optical tube assembly (OTA) to be closed to about half its length during transport and storage, with the ability to be opened quickly and easily without having to collimate the mirrors so you can get to observing the night sky quickly. Optically, the Heritage is outfitted with a large 150mm aperture and aluminum-coated parabolic mirrors that draw in the light required to make detailed observations of the moon and planets, or to reach outside our solar system to see deep-sky objects. The optical tube is supported by a manual alt-azimuth tabletop mounting system that allows you to set up the scope just about anywhere—from a patio or picnic table to a tailgate or car hood. When you need to pack up and go home, simply collapse the tube, rotate it down to minimize its form factor, and grab the mount's integrated handle to carry it safely and securely. To get you observing right out of the box, Sky-Watcher includes two eyepieces and a red dot finder.
