  • Parabolic primary mirror minimises spherical aberration for sharp images across the field of view

150mm Newtonian Reflector

The 6 inch Newtonian reflector gathers light through a 150mm aperture for detailed views of planets and deep-sky objects. A parabolic primary mirror reduces spherical aberration to sharpen the outer field. Fully coated optics improve contrast and brightness. The optical tube suits visual observing and entry-level astrophotography.

Advanced VX German Equatorial Mount

The computerized German equatorial mount tracks at sidereal, solar and lunar rates to follow objects across the sky. A NexStar+ hand controller stores a 40,000 object database for automated GoTo slewing. All-Star Polar Alignment and permanent periodic error correction simplify setup and improve tracking accuracy. The mount is Celestron's smallest German equatorial design.

Adjustable Stainless Steel Tripod

The included tripod uses 2 inch diameter stainless steel legs that adjust from 44 to 64 inches in height. The rigid construction dampens vibration for steadier images at high magnification. Leveling adjustments keep the mount stable on uneven ground. The tripod folds for transport to dark-sky sites.

Questions about this item

Will the 150mm Newtonian tube balance on my existing VX mount if I keep the same counterweight shaft?

The 6" Newtonian is designed for the Advanced VX mount; the 150mm aperture tube and supplied counterweights balance on the standard shaft without modification.

How do I verify the GoTo is tracking at the correct sidereal rate after polar alignment?

Center a bright star, select sidereal rate on the NexStar+ hand control, and confirm the star remains centred in a high-power eyepiece for several minutes.

Does the box include eyepieces and a finderscope, or must I purchase them separately?

The package supplies the optical tube, Advanced VX mount, stainless steel tripod, NexStar+ hand control and counterweights; eyepieces and a finderscope are sold separately.
