Binorum Expression Forced 150/1400 EQ3 - reflector telescope
If you are looking for a telescope that will significantly push the boundaries of your night sky observations, the Binorum Expression Forced 150/1400 EQ3 is exactly what you need. A 150mm aperture reflector telescope gathers substantially more light than older models with a 114mm or 130mm diameter - the difference is immediately noticeable when viewing planets as well as deep-sky objects. The image is bright, sharp and high-contrast across the entire field of view, without unwanted blurring at the edges.
Optics and performance
The heart of the telescope is a spherical primary mirror with a diameter of 150mm and a focal length of 1400mm, providing enough light-gathering power to observe nebulae, star clusters and fine planetary details. The package includes two Plössl eyepieces - a 25mm for a wide overview field at 56x magnification, and a 6.5mm for detailed observation at 215x magnification. The focuser is made of metal, ensuring stable and precise focusing without unwanted play.
Mount and tripod
The EQ3 equatorial mount offers a high payload capacity and features sensitive micrometric slow-motion controls on both axes, making it comfortable to keep objects in the field of view even at high magnifications. The aluminium tripod allows working height adjustment from 80 to 125cm and provides a stable base that does not transfer vibrations to the optical tube. The tube itself is also metal, contributing to the overall robustness and long service life of the instrument.
What is included
The package contains a complete set ready for immediate observation:
- Reflector telescope with metal tube (150/1400)
- EQ3 equatorial mount with micrometric slow-motion controls
- Aluminium adjustable tripod (80-125cm)
- Plössl eyepiece 25mm - magnification 56x
- Plössl eyepiece 6.5mm - magnification 215x
- Finder scope for easy sky orientation
Nothing extra is needed - unbox, assemble and start observing.

Who is this telescope for
The Binorum Expression Forced 150/1400 EQ3 is an excellent choice for observers who are stepping up from entry-level instruments and want noticeably better performance. The 150mm aperture opens up a wide range of targets - from the cloud bands and moons of Jupiter and Saturn's rings to globular clusters and bright nebulae. The combination of a 150mm mirror and a precise equatorial mount makes this telescope suitable both for casual visual observation and for more systematic sky exploration.
Recommended targets
- Moon - surface detail, craters, mountain ranges
- Planets - Jupiter's cloud belts, Saturn's rings and Cassini Division, Mars polar caps
- Globular clusters - M13, M22 and others
- Bright nebulae - Orion Nebula (M42), Ring Nebula (M57)
- Open star clusters - Pleiades, Beehive Cluster
- Bright galaxies - M31, M81, M82
