the goods, rendering excellent images of deep-space objects as
well as high-power views of solar system attractions.

a 1.25" aluminum focuser and a navigation knob for easy slewing,

mounts in its class, but at half the price! The D150 is designed
especially for those who are seriously committed to exploring
the universe. But that describes you, doesn’t it?
