EUROPA 150 F5 De-Luxe model - The one that towered over every other 150mm reviewed by Sky at Night!
For a serious view of the night sky, with even higher performance in general, Orion Optics recommend the EUROPA 150 F5 De-Luxe. The EUROPA 150 is the most popular 150mm (6") telescope on sale in the UK. It achieved this position primarily because of it's unquestionable optical and mechanical performance and of course it's price tag, coupled with the recent sensational review. Now featuring Vixen's world wide famous GPE Polaris mount of superb mechanical and tracking capabilities. Three focal ratios are available, F5, F8 and F11.
