Product description The Celestron SkyProdigy 6 152mm f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain GoTo Telescope is designed for people who want to spend more time observing and less time setting up. In about three minutes, the StarSense system can automatically determine its position and align itself. Once this quick alignment is done, use the included hand controller to explore more than 4000 objects with full GoTo capabilities.Optically, the telescope is outfitted with a large-aperture Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube assembly (OTA) that draws in copious amounts of light to enable detailed observations of the Moon and planets with the ability to resolve dim deep-space objects while still maintaining a compact and portable form factor. The light-gathering capabilities are enhanced through the use of Celestron's proprietary StarBright XLT optical coating system to maximize light transmission, ensure accurate color rendition, and eliminate fringing and off-axis comas.The OTA is attached to a fully motorized single-arm mount that is guided by the hand controller and supported by a sturdy stainless steel tripod. The entire system is powered by eight user-supplied D-cell batteries. To help new users start observing right out of the box, two eyepieces are included to produce moderate and high magnifications, plus a 90° star diagonal. The visual back and diagonal accept 1.25" eyepieces and accessories to allow the use of a wide variety of optional gear to be added later such as additional eyepieces, Barlow lenses, filters, and imaging systems. - Optical Tube
