Pentax 150SDP Telescope Pleases the Ladies
March 22, 08 by Daniel Foster
You can do more than view the starry skies with Pentax’s new $50,000 150SDP telescope. Who knew a telescope could do so much?
Little information about this telescope is available. It is meant for professional star gazers with its array of advanced optics, which include a 1120mm tube length, 150mm aperture, 960 mm focal length, and four lenses buttered in an apochromatic refractor. At 176 pounds, this hunk of telescopic love isn’t as easy to move around as you would like, but is still portable and is setup for astro-imaging. Americans will be sad to hear that the 150SDP is unavailable in the States, but it can be found on numerous Japanese and English astronomy websites.
