  • Best suited for intermediate users, visual observers, and those stepping up from entry-level telescopes
  • Offers a balance of portability and performance with its 150 mm aperture and 1500 mm focal length
  • Ideal for viewing planetary details, bright deep-sky objects, and the Moon with sharp, focused results
  • StarBright XLT coatings enhance contrast and light transmission for improved brightness and clarity
  • Comes with a 25 mm eyepiece (60x magnification) and 6x30 optical finderscope
  • Includes a CG-5 style dovetail plate compatible with most Vixen-style mounts
  • 1.25-inch diagonal and visual back allow standard accessories to be used with ease
  • Weighing only 10 lbs, it's easy to transport and mount for backyard or field use

This OTA is compatible with the Celestron CG-5 and AVX mounts, older Losmandy GM-8, and select Meade and Vixen setups. It does not support mounts with 3-inch dovetails like CGE or Paramount. If you're unsure, confirm mount compatibility before purchasing.

Whether you're upgrading your setup or looking for a reliable OTA that delivers performance in a small form factor, the Celestron C6-A-XLT offers an ideal mix of quality and value.
