The Celestron Omni XLT 150 reflector telescope is an excellent choice for the serious amateur astronomer. It is characterized by a large primary mirror to reflect light, and its light gathering capability makes it even more desirable. The unit is easy to set up, user-friendly, and offers a superb ergonomic design. The large aperture of this telescope makes it the perfect instrument for exploration beyond the visible universe.
The Omni XLT 150 comes with The CG-4 platform. This German equatorial mount features precision worm gears on both axes for smooth tracking and stability. Also included is a heavy-duty tripod with damping to eliminate vibration. The tripod is non-motorized and non-computerized. Its mechanical simplicity makes it very easy to operate.
Designed to satisfy the demands of amateur astronomers, this Newtonian Reflector telescope will allow detailed observation of the craters on the Moon, the rings of Saturn, the moons of Jupiter and more.

Comments about Celestron Omni XLT 150 5.9"/150mm Reflector Telescope Kit:
I guess I didn't really think about the size much, but it was so much larger than I was expecting, and heavier too. That being said, the first night I assembled it, the instructions were easy to follow. My first observations were amazing, compared to my old (30 years plus) refractor. The bonus Meade eyepiece is much better than the standard eyepiece. I had a hard time identifying what I was looking for, because so many more appeared than I could see with my eye. Once I got the base pointed and oriented in the proper direction, finding and following objects was very easy. My first observations of the moon brought out detail I had never seen before with binoculars, or the old refractor. This is everything I was looking for in my new scope, except heavy to move (but great for stability of image).
