Advanced Series C6-SGT (XLT)

 

The Advanced C6-SGT is Celestron?s first new Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system in over a decade, the C6-S is available in computerized (GT) and non-computerized models. Our NEW  Schmidt-Cassegrain features a precision optical system with 1500mm focal length (f/10) and offers 40% more light gathering than a 5? telescope.

Mounted on the Advanced GT Series computerized mount, this telescope has some high performance software and hardware features. Operated by our proven NexStar computer control technology the telescope has a 40,000+ object database with 400 user-definable objects and expanded information on over 200 objects. Custom database lists of all the most famous deep-sky objects by name and catalog number; the most beautiful double, triple and quadruple stars; variable star; solar systems; objects and asterisms.
