About Orion 08942

The Orion SkyQuest XT6 Classic Dobsonian Telescope opens up limitless observing possibilities. With its big 150mm diameter parabolic primary mirror the XT6 collects nearly 80% more light than a 4.5" reflector, rendering brighter images and greater detail in deep-sky nebulas and star clusters. And the 1200mm focal length gives the scope ample power to zoom in on subtle planetary and lunar features.

The 45" long enameled-steel optical tube glides with silky smoothness on the cabinet-quality Dobsonian wood base. Orion-engineered CorrecTension springs keep the tube balanced to perfection and allow the whole unit to be carried together by the handle on the base. The XT6 is outfitted with a 1.25" rack-and-pinion focuser, an EZ Finder II reflex sight, collimation cap and a 25mm Sirius Plossl eyepiece. The mirror is center-marked for precise collimation.
