My first ever setup, complete novice and even though there was a learning curve, instructions with mount and scope were clear and managed to get some great views of moon craters once cleared.

Bought Skywatcher 150 p reflector from here and it's amazing. Couldn't work out why my camera couldn't achieve focus but Chris from FLO put me on the right path and now I can enjoy my scope even more.
Thank you for great service, will definitely use you again.
Highly recommended.

Thanks for great all your help in choosing my new telescope, Chris was very helpful, understanding he gave me all the options with no pressure, the only negative is nothing to do with FLO. At times the instructions were not very helpful, but after a bit of you tube searching I managed to set everything up

Having played with the widely available branded 'toy' scopes out there I decided to branch out and see what its like looking at the night sky for real with a grown up version. Obviously as soon as I bought it the skies have clouded, the moon has become shy and is hiding beyond the horizon and, weather permitted, by the time it gets dark enough to be useable it is already silly o'clock. This is actually sky watching in a nutshell and is something that you should bear in mind when you take the plunge. The scope and mount in this kit exceeded my expectations, like I say it's a 'real' scope. The mount is suitably manoeuvrable and once situated looks like it's going to last for years to come. The scope is really nicely made and everything feels responsive and 'proper'. The cloudy wet days are the ones to spend online or in the books, I recommended a dedicated diary for notes. Once the skies clear, I'll be in the garden, looking up and wishing, like all that I have followed, that I had gone bigger. Clear skies and bright stars.

Bought this for my partner for his Birthday, complete success. Delivery took forever so was slightly delayed arrival but Dave and Alex were excellent at keeping me up to date with when it was to be expected and any delays. Arrived in perfect condition and whilst i am no Astonomy buff my partner loves his telescope and on his second night had some excellent imaging of the Moon, Mars & Andromeda. Would 100% recommend both this telescope and First Light Optics.

This telescope's optics are amazing, as a beginner, I have seen the Orion Nebula, the planets, and the moon. All of which look stunning. The only thing I'd change is make the mount a bit stronger/ increase the load capacity by about 2 kilos or so, as with a camera on the RA motor struggles (the counterweights don't go out far enough). As for the service by FLO, within 2 days both halves of the telescope were delivered with all things included, can't fault them. All-in-all, great optics, sturdy tripod and a mount that's almost always running at full capacity. If you have the money, invest in an EQ-5 or an HEQ5

Initially the telescope looks impressive and was very well packaged. Used collimating cap and verified was well aligned. On first crystal clear night (With no moon) went out and aligned with Polaris. Then viewed Vega as it was easy to find. Vega looked the same in the 10mm, the 25mm with or without the Barlow. I was expecting a little magnification. Next I moved on to Jupiter as I figured that should show some detail and I was pretty disappointed. In both eye pieces with or without the Barlow all I could see was a small orange ish planet. It was maybe the size of a pencil head, if that. I couldn’t make out any details or the giant spot which should have been visible at the time I was looking. I then moved on the M81 but was unable to find it in the wide angle 25mm eye piece. After that I called it a night. I hope to maybe see more next time.

I ordered the Sky-Watcher Explorer 150P EQ3-2 along with a BST Starguider 12mm eyepiece on 11th December and both items were delivered on 13th December.....Great service!! Thank you FLO for your expert advice and prompt delivery.

Hi

I've been a good boy this year and my wife bought me the 150P on the Eq3-2 for my Birthday. I've opened it up today and assembled, which was very easy and although provided the instructions were not needed..

The quality of the mount is surprisingly substantial and feels sturdy, and the scope itself looks fantastic with the same feeling of quality.

Obviously the weather this evening is very poor and I am unable to use it, however I have collimated it, which was a doddle to do.

I know FLO and the team have been great too, so thank you all.

Can't wait to get out and use it now, but at least I have some time to get familiar with my Philips Planisphere.

Thank you FLO.

This is my first ever telescope and I'm an absolute beginner. I have managed to take it out twice and was able to see Jupiter in suburban conditions but was even better in dark conditions. Being new I have not had a chance to discover Deep space objects but I can't wait to take it out again. Easy to set-up if like me you do your research and understand the basics before buying.
