Review Summary
The Orion 09786 is a 6" Newtonian Imaging Telescope Optical Tube. With its large 6" (150mm) parabolic mirror, this compact f/5 astrograph is optimized to fully illuminate the imaging chip of Orion StarShoot CCD cameras and most digital SLRs, rendering exquisite detail even with short exposures. Added tube length in front of the secondary mirror blocks glare for improved contrast. Images are virtually coma free and, of course, there's no chromatic aberration.
The focuser is a low-profile, 2" Crayford-style design made of machined, anodized aluminum and it has coarse and fine (11:1) focus controls. It comes with a 1.25" compression ring adapter and a dovetail base for an Orion finder scope.
