As you run through the checklist of attributes you've heard are important in a good beginner's telescope, you realize that the Orion SkyQuest XT6 Classic Dobsonian Telescope meets all the criteria - in spades. Astronomy magazine called it "an excellent entry-level Dobsonian telescope for an adult." It's a telescope that opens up limitless observing possibilities.
With its big 150mm diameter parabolic primary mirror the SkyQuest XT6 Classic Dobsonian Telescope collects nearly 80% more light than a 4.5" reflector, rendering brighter images and greater detail in deep-sky nebulas and star clusters. And the 1200mm focal length gives the telescope ample power to zoom in on subtle planetary and lunar features. The 45"-long enameled-steel optical tube glides with silky smoothness on the cabinet-quality Dobsonian wood base. You just point the telescope and view!
The XT6 is outfitted with a 1.25" rack-and-pinion focuser, an 6x30 finder, a collimation cap, and both 25mm and 10mm Plossl eyepieces. The mirror is center-marked for precise collimation.
Features:
- Big 6" aperture optics + point-and-view ease of use + extra accessories = out-of-this-world value
- 150mm aperture and 1200mm focal length (f/8.0) Dobsonian reflector telescope provides ample light grasp and resolving power for jaw-dropping views of the Moon, planets, and bright deep-sky objects
- Included 25mm and 10mm Plossls, and 6x30 Finder
- A great choice for the interested beginner who wants high performance at an amazing value
