The German mount is a somewhat bulky and initially awkward platform for the novice, but this one is a reliable and stable platform that adds only moderate cost with great capability to the package. The SkyView Pro 150mm is truly more reliable and well supported by the provided motorized SkyView Pro German Equatorial mount and tripod.

With a 30 per cent increase in light gathering power and a 1.2X increase in resolution over the StarMax 127, the 150mm brings one into the realm of much more serious astronomical capabilities. The SkyView Pro 150mm is an arrangement similar to its smaller, highly successful cousin the StarMax 127 5 inch Maksutov-Cassegain telescope that was introduced in the Fall 2001. Introduced in the Fall of 2005, the Orion SkyView Pro 150mm is recommended by Company Seven to those who seek a high resolution, multi-purpose, lightweight and compact telescope for astronomy.
