This 6"-class equatorial reflector is for all-around performance. Its 150mm-diameter parabolic Newtonian optics (focal length 750mm, f/5) pull down pleasing images of a rich variety of celestial objects. With the included 10mm Plössl eyepiece's (1.25"), you’ll roam detailed lunar landscapes at 75x, or see distinct, variegated cloud bands on Jupiter’s disk. Pop in the 25mm Plössl for some deep-sky thrills, where modest 30x power rewards you with never-before-seen (by you) images of nebulas and star clusters framed in a wide circle of starry blackness.

Metal tube rings fasten the 27"-long optical tube to the sturdy EQ-3 equatorial mount. The manual slow-motion controls let you center objects in the viewing field, then manually track their motion. The EQ-3 mount comes with a precision polar-alignment scope for aligning the telescope to track properly. The adjustable aluminum tripod provides ample stability and the leg braces are hinged at the center for quick setup and fold-up. A roomy accessory tray is also included.

Has high-quality features such as an aluminum 1.25" rack-and-pinion focuser with two thumbscrews to lock the eyepiece in place, and a three-vane, adjustable secondary mirror support. The 6x30 achromatic cross hair finder scope helps you locate your target. It has easy X-Y adjustment and a quick-release bracket. Collimation thumbscrews make occasional alignment of the optics an easy, tool-free procedure.
