An aperture of this size provides excellent illumination within your eyepiece or across your sensor, making it a choice telescope for those looking to observe faint deep space objects. Also, the f\/5 focal ratio is wonderful for capturing photons efficiently, while the 762 mm focal length delivers a moderately wide field of view of the night sky. Large celestial targets fit nicely within your frame, such as the Andromeda Galaxy, the Rosette Nebula, the California Nebula, and plenty more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-img-container-outer\" data-eapps-font-size=\"16\" data-eapps-line-height=\"24\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp data-eapps-font-size=\"16\" data-eapps-line-height=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-eapps-font-size=\"16\" data-eapps-line-height=\"24\"\u003eExpertly Crafted\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to exceptional optical performance, this Apertura 6” Newtonian is built to last. With its rolled steel tube, you can expect high resistance to dents and scratches along with ample support for your imaging gear. The body of the OTA extends past the focuser to prevent stray light from entering the optics, in-turn enhancing contrast and sharpness. For easy collimation, the primary mirror is center-spotted. This central spot provides a precise target when collimating with a laser collimator, collimation cap, or Cheshire eyepiece. Thanks to its robust design, this Apertura Newtonian hold collimation well, even with transport!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-img-container-outer\" data-eapps-font-size=\"16\" data-eapps-line-height=\"24\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp data-eapps-font-size=\"16\" data-eapps-line-height=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-eapps-font-size=\"16\" data-eapps-line-height=\"24\"\u003e2\" Dual-Speed Crayford Focuser\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHelping you dial in the details is a dual-speed Crayford focuser. This focuser style moves the drawtube via a spring-loaded shaft and friction, delivering smooth, precise focusing. As opposed to Rack \u0026amp; Pinion focusers that utilize gears, this Crayford focuser focuses without backlash for superior performance. The 10:1 dual-speed design offers superb precision during focusing, assisting with ultra-fine adjustments for pinpoint stars. It readily accepts 2” accessories out of the box, though a 2” to 1.25” adapter is included for use with a wide variety of eyepieces and imaging equipment. Like the rest of this telescope, this focuser is designed with the utmost quality in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Apertura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50268606890243,"sku":"U2611-SW-APT-6F5N","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1979\/5379\/files\/camera-FE52E773-7CA0-4C4C-AD8B-298252672CC3.jpg?v=1794610911","url":"https:\/\/milehighastro.com\/products\/used-apertura-6-f-5-imaging-newtonian-ota","provider":"Mile High Astronomy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
