It is a classic Newtonian with a 6-inch mirror designed to showcase the Moon, the planets AND bright, deep-sky treats including nebulae, star clusters and galaxies. It has a focal length of 1170mm and focal ratio of f/7.6, which makes this telescope a great option for imaging subjects that can handle higher magnifications. The intuitive Dobsonian mount design is enhanced with a spring tension system to maintain tube balance and accommodate optional accessories.
