Celestron C6
Striking a comfortable balance between power and portability, the Celestron C6 -A XLT OTA 6" f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is an ideal choice for observing objects within or beyond our solar system. It features a Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system consisting of a corrector plate, spherical primary mirror, and secondary mirror that work together to reduce spherical and chromatic aberrations to crisp and clear high-resolution images with accurate color representation with distortion - especially at the edges. Complementing the optical system is the proprietary StarBright XLT optical coating system, which improves light transmission and reflectivity across the entire visual spectrum. Perfect for mounting on a Celestron Advanced VX or alternatively a Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro.
