Product description

Optical Tube Assembly
• • 152mm (6") aperture gathers enough light for viewing within the solar system as well as deep-sky objects without adding excessive weight and bulk, to maintain its portability
  • Moderate f/10 focal ratio requires longer exposure times for astrophotography
  • Long 1524mm focal length provides a high magnification potential
  • Catadioptric light path produces long effective focal lengths in a small OTA to make it powerful, yet easier to store, transport, and set up
  • Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) optical design corrects astigmatism and off-axis comas better than similar Cassegrain configurations
  • Single-speed internal focusing mechanism with 1.25" eyepiece/accessory holder

Optical Technologies
• Advanced Coma-Free System:
  • Reduces off-axis comas and astigmatism for sharper images
  • Eliminates diffraction spikes for better resolution
  • Aplanatic design produces flat, distortion-free images across the field of view—especially at the edges
  Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC):
  • All corrector plate and mirror surfaces are fully multi-coated
  • Engineered to optimize visual, photographic, and CCD imaging
  • Improve light transmission across the entire visible spectrum through the optical path
  • Corrector plate coatings made up of multiple layers of aluminum oxide (Al2O3), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and magnesium fluoride (MgF2)
  • Mirror coatings consist of aluminum with multi-layer coatings of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and silicon dioxide (SiO2)

Mounting
• • Optical tube assembly (OTA) only. Mount and tripod required for proper use
  • Vixen-style dovetail plate is compatible with a wide variety of mounts
  • OTA weight: 9.2 pounds

Included Accessories
• Eyepiece:
  • 1.25"-diameter barrel
  • 26mm focal length produces a low 59x power for viewing the Moon and planets, and for wide-field deep-sky use
  • Accepts most optional 1.25" astronomical filters to enhance views
  • Fold-down rubber eyecup
  Diagonal:
  • Star diagonal corrects view horizontally, but not vertically
  • 1.25" nosepiece and eyepiece holder
  Finder:
  • Unmagnified view ensures a wide field of view for easier alignment and faster star-hopping navigation
  • Multiple intensity levels ensure reticle visibility without affecting night-adjusted vision
