SKU CH-C6H6-G8YNP

A 150 mm refractor on a computerised equatorial mount with Wi-Fi control and 60× eyepiece, reaching 354× useful magnification

  • 150 mm aperture gathers light for bright planetary views
  • 1200 mm focal length at f/8 delivers high contrast without central obstruction
  • Advanced VX German Equatorial mount with GoTo locates objects automatically
  • 20 mm eyepiece yields 60× magnification for detailed observing
  • Highest useful magnification of 354× reveals fine lunar and planetary detail

6" Refractor with 150mm aperture

The 6" refractor telescope uses a 150mm aperture and 1200mm focal length at f/8 to gather light without a central obstruction. This optical design delivers high-contrast views of planets, the Moon and brighter deep-sky objects. The kit includes a 20mm eyepiece yielding 60x magnification and supports a highest useful magnification of 354x for detailed planetary work.

Advanced VX mount with GoTo and autoguider support

The German Equatorial mount provides computerized GoTo locating through the NexStar+ hand control and adds All-Star Polar Alignment for accurate tracking. Autoguider support allows the mount to track through long exposures with programmable periodic error correction. This combination suits astroimagers capturing planetary or deep-sky targets but will not meet the payload needs of larger optical tubes.

SkyPortal WiFi Module for wireless control

The included SkyPortal WiFi Module enables wireless telescope alignment and control from a smart device using Celestron's SkyPortal app. It replaces a wired hand-control connection for convenient slewing and object selection in the field. The module does not add imaging sensors or camera adapters, so separate CCD or planetary cameras are still required for photography.

Questions about this item

Will the 150mm aperture refractor work with my existing 20mm eyepieces and diagonals?

The kit includes a 20mm eyepiece that provides 60x magnification; other eyepieces or diagonals with matching barrel diameter can be used, but their compatibility depends on the specific barrel size of your existing accessories.

How can I confirm the Advanced VX mount and SkyPortal WiFi module are tracking accurately after polar alignment?

Use the NexStar+ hand control or the SkyPortal app via the WiFi module to perform All-Star Polar Alignment, then select a bright star; if the object remains centred in the eyepiece at high magnification, the mount is tracking as intended.

Which accessories are included in the WiFi Kit and what must be purchased separately for imaging?

The kit supplies the 6" f/8 refractor tube, Advanced VX mount, stainless steel tripod, NexStar+ hand control, 20mm eyepiece and SkyPortal WiFi module; cameras such as a Nightscape CCD or NexImage imager are sold separately.
