This remarkable scope combines powerful 150mm-diameter reflector optics with point-and-view simplicity in one nicely portable
package. And with the included IntelliScope Computerized Object Locator, even the novice stargazer can pinpoint the location of
14,000+ celestial wonders stored in the IntelliScope's databank. It's like having your own personal tour guide to the universe!
You just select an object to observe using the Object Locator's illuminated menu buttons (Galaxies, Clusters, Nebulas, etc.), or
choose a pre-set tour of the best objects, then press Enter. The IntelliScope's high-resolution, 9,216-step digital encoders
direct the telescope right to the object, placing it squarely in the eyepiece.
The XT6 IntelliScope houses a big 150mm parabolic mirror with 80% more light grasp than a 4.5" mirror, for brighter, more
detailed images. The streamlined Dobsonian base offers unflinching stability yet easy portability.
The scope comes equipped with a 1.25" rack-and-pinion focuser, eyepiece rack, navigation knob, two Plossal eyepieces, and now a
6x30 right-angle correct-image finder scope.
Whether you use your XT6 with or without the Object Locator (you can always add it later), find out just how fun a smarter,
well-made beginner's scope can be. One year limited warranty.
