The Celestron Advanced VX 6 150mm f/5.0 Reflector Telescope Optical Tube is optimized for lunar, planetary and deep-space viewing and astroimaging. Its 6" (150mm) primary parabolic mirror draws in copious amounts of light—even from distant deep-space objects like binary stars. Its fast f/5.0 focal ratio ensures views are bright and crisp across a wide field while also allowing for short exposure times, which means more images can be captured for later stacking in post. The OTA attaches to any mount using a Vixen-style dovetail plate for fast assembly and breakdown.
Optical Tube Assembly
- 150mm (6") aperture is ideal for lunar & planetary viewing with the ability to resolve bright deep sky objects
- Fast f/5.0 focal ratio ensures bright and clear views with a wide angle
- 750mm focal length has a moderate magnification potential
- Newtonian reflector optical design is lightweight and easy to use despite its large aperture
- Fully coated optics increase light transmission, and improve contrast and color rendition
- Resolution: Rayleigh: 0.93 arcsec; Dawes Limit: 0.77 arcsec
- Secondary mirror obstruction: 1.75"; 30° by diameter; 8.78° by area
