As versatile as it is portable, the Sky-Watcher Virtuoso 90mm f/13.9 Maksutov-Cassegrain Multi-Purpose Motorized Mount with Solar Filter is more than an astronomical observing platform—it can be used for conventional nighttime celestial viewing, daytime solar viewing using the included filter, or as a terrestrial spotting scope. Swap the optical tube assembly (OTA) for its camera or smartphone mounts and start wide-field astrophotography or time-lapse and panoramic photo techniques with its automatic shutter release functions.

Can the mount be used with the skywatcher heritage 150p?
Technically the Sky-Watcher Heritage 150 150mm f/5 Tabletop Reflector AZ Telescope will fit on the mount that comes with the Sky-Watcher Virtuoso 90mm f/13.9 Maksutov-Cassegrain Multi-Purpose Motorized Mount. However, it probably would not be balanced very well.

I tested not using star diagonal and had to hold eyepiece out from telescope 3 inches to get focus. You need it.

Can this be mounted on a photo tripod?
Can this be mounted on a photo tripod?
No it can't, not designed for that -- there is no screw-hole, and the product is bigger and heavier than many tripods could safely manage. We use on a counter at a window and it works perfectly there.

question
Would this replace a 650/1300 mm lens with a maximizer for my Nikon D3200?
This scope would not really meet the expectations of a regular Nikon Lens. Honestly. If you wanted to do astrophotography I would go with a better quality scope, and one with a bigger diameter. This scope is going to be very dark and shaky.
