C6 OTA2. 25mm eyepiece (60x)3. 6x30 optical finder scope4. Star diagonal, 5. 1.25” visual back6. CG-5 dovetail bar7. StarPointer Finderscope8. Dew Heater (no Power supply or cables other than what is shown) The Celestron C6-A OTA is a great multi-use optical tube with a 1500 mm focal length and a focal ratio of f/10. It offers 40% more light gathering than a 5” Cassegrain telescope. The Celestron C6-A features Celestron’s patented StarBright® XLT optical coatings, which visibly increase contrast and light transmission for brighter deep space images and shorter exposure times. With StarBright XLT, you’ll be able to discern subtle details while viewing the Moon and planets as well as faint galaxies and nebulae.The Celestron C6-A can be mounted on a multitude of computerized telescope mounts thanks to its CG-5 dovetail bar. But it also works well when mounted on a basic manual altazimuth mount for night sky viewing or as a terrestrial spotting scope during the day.The Celestron C6-A has the best balance of portability, handling ease, light gathering ability and price ever offered to the amateur astronomer. It is an advanced level instrument that is as easy to use as any intermediate level—and most entry level—telescopes. StarBright XLT coatingsStarBright XLT is Celestron’s revolutionary optical coating system. It consistently outperforms all other coatings in the commercial telescope market. There are three major components that make up our StarBright XLT high-transmission optical system design:Unique enhanced multi-layer mirror coatings made from precise layers of aluminum, SiO2 (quartz), TiO2 (titanium dioxide), and SiO2 (silicon dioxide). Reflectivity is fairly flat across the spectrum, optimizing it for both imaging and visual observing.Multi-layer anti-reflective coatings made from precise layers of MgF2 (magnesium fluoride) and HfO2 (hafnium dioxide). Hafnium—a rare element that costs nearly $2,000 per kilogram—gives us a wider band pass than the titanium used in competing coatings.High-transmission water white glass is used instead of soda lime glass for the corrector lens. Water white glass transmits about 90.5% of light without anti-reflective coatings; that’s 3.5% better than uncoated soda lime glass. When water white glass is used in conjunction with StarBright XLT’s anti-reflective coatings, the average transmission reaches an astonishing 97.4.Optical Tube Info:Optical Design:Schmidt-CassegrainAperture:150mm (6")Focal Length:1500mm (59")Focal Ratio:f/10Focal Length of Eyepiece 1:25mm (0.98")Magnification of Eyepiece 1:60xFinderscope:6x30Star Diagonal:1.25" Star DiagonalOptical Tube:AluminumHighest Useful Magnification:354xLowest Useful Magnification:21xLimiting Stellar Magnitude:13.4Resolution (Rayleigh):0.93 arc secondsResolution (Dawes):0.77 arc secondsLight Gathering Power (Compared to human eye):459xSecondary Mirror Obstruction:56mm (2.2")Secondary Mirror Obstruction by Diameter:37%Secondary Mirror Obstruction by Area:14%Optical Coatings:StarBright XLTOptical Tube Length:406mm (16")Optical Tube Diameter:180mm (7.12")Optical Tube Weight:10 lbs (4.54 kg)Dovetail:CG-5 Dovetail barSolar WarningNever look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with an optic (unless you have the proper solar filter). Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.Never use your optic to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the optic and any accessories attached to it.Never leave your optic unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.
