A 6-Inch Achromat Delivering Bright, High-Resolution Views
This 152mm air-spaced crown-and-flint achromatic refractor delivers bright, high-resolution views at an exceptional value. Diffraction-limited optics at f/6.5 excel at deep-sky observation, lunar detail, planetary viewing, and resolving close double stars.
A 2-inch dual-speed focuser provides smooth, precise focusing, and the one-piece 2-inch diagonal carries 99% dielectric coatings for bright, high-contrast views.
Built for durability at star parties and in educational settings, the optical tube arrives with a hybrid 2N1 finder base, an 8x50 straight-through finderscope, and a cradle ring set with a 45mm Vixen-style dovetail compatible with alt-azimuth or equatorial mounts.
