Omni XLT series features the stable platform of the CG-4 mount and high quality optics. Using aspheric shaping technology in conjunction with hand-figuring the optics, the Omni XLT presents an image with virtually no spherical aberration. We also added our famous StarBright XLT coating system to further enhance light transmission.

What can I see with this telescope?
Max reasonable eyepiece power (no Barlow) in good seeing is approximately
— mm (—×)
Bright objects such as the Moon and planets may allow you to use approximately
— mm (—×)
Larger aperture (diameter) telescopes will produce a brighter view of objects
Viewing location and sky conditions can vary and will affect actual results.
