Celestron 6" Schmidt Cassegrain Optical Tube Assembly with Starbright XLT Coatings Aluminum Tube

the celestron c6 iota is a great foundation for a lunar or planetary observation telescope i have used it for lunar photography and some planetary photography [Music] it's great for observation with decent 12 millimeters 9 millimeters and 6 millimeters eyepieces and can let you see saturn and jupiter with some good level of detail tracking at high magnification really calls for a goto or eq mount that can allow you to easily track celestial objects since this scope has a focal length of 1500 millimeters i don't have a goto mount so i use the c6 on an explore scientific eq mount that's rated for tilde 20 pounds [Music] an eq mount is slightly better than an alt azimuth mount in that the eq mount requires only a one knob adjustment to effectively track an object in the sky once the mount has been polar aligned [Music] for taking photos i use and recommend a cmos or ccd astrophotography ca
