Celestron 6-Inch Advanced VX Refractor Tele - Black

Product Description ------------------- For planetary imaging and brighter deep-sky objects, many astroimagers say there’s no better choice than a refractor. Unlike Schmidt-Cassegrain or Newtonian teles that have a secondary mirror, refractors offer no obstruction of the aperture, giving you the highest possible contrast. This refractor setup features an f/8 objective lens, which can be paired with one of our Nightscape CCD cameras to image brighter deep-sky objects or our NexImage 5 Solar System Imager to create dazzling images of the planets.The new Advanced VX was specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance for smaller teles. Now your smaller tele can take advantage of All-Star Polar Alignment and auto guider support. You’ll be able to track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction. Image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip, so you can seamlessly image the best part of night sky. Advanced VX features significantly larger base castings than our previous design, improving stability under heavier loads. Improved motors offer more torque and can handle slight load imbalances with ease. Specifications: Optical Design Refractor. Aperture (mm): 150 mm (5.91 in). Tele Type: Computerized (GOTO).
