This telescope features a Newtonian optical design with a 150mm (6-inch) aperture, which provides impressive light-gathering power. The large aperture ensures bright and clear views of celestial objects, making it ideal for wide-field and deep-sky exploration. The Dobsonian mount is known for its ease of use and stability. Once the optical tube is positioned, it remains stable, even as the mount is rotated, making it user-friendly for both beginners and seasoned observers. With a focal length of 1200mm and a focal ratio of f/8, the Skywatcher 6" Dobsonian strikes a balance between wide-field views and high magnification. It has a resolving power of 0.8 arcseconds, which allows for detailed observations of fine celestial features. The telescope has a stellar limit magnitude of 12.9, making it capable of revealing faint stars and deep-sky objects. Its highest practical magnification is 300x, enabling detailed examination of planets and other celestial phenomena. Additionally, the telescope’s light-gathering power is 459 times greater than the unaided eye, enhancing visibility of faint objects. The focuser is a 2" rack and pinion model with a 1.25-inch adaptor, accommodating a range of eyepieces and accessories. This combination of features makes the Skywatcher 6-Inch Dobsonian a versatile and affordable choice for exploring the night sky.   Full Specifications Optical Tube Assembly (OTA) Optical Design Newtonian Aperture 150mm (6-inch) Focal Length 1200mm Focal Ratio f/8 Included Eyepiece Super 10mm (120x), Super 25mm (48x Magnification) Finderscope 6x30 Focuser 2" Crayford with 1.25" Adapter Highest Useful Magnification 300x Limiting Stellar Magnitude 12.9  Mount Mount Type Dobsonian Warranty 5 Year Warranty   Recommended Accessories saxon ScopePix Smartphone Adapter 3sCapture images through your telescope on your smartphone using the ScopePix Smartphone Adapter 3s.
