Celestron SC 152/1500 C6 Cassegrain OTA

Description

Flexible mounting is the defining feature of the Celestron SC 152/1500 C6 Cassegrain OTA, a standalone 152 mm Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube with a 1500 mm focal length and listed f/10 optical ratio. The C6 OTA uses StarBright XLT coatings, internal primary-mirror focusing, Fastar and HyperStar compatibility, a 6×30 finder, 25 mm Plossl eyepiece, star diagonal, 1.25-inch visual back, and CG-5 Vixen-style dovetail hardware for compatible mounts.

The optical tube is supplied without an equatorial or alt-azimuth mount, tripod, counterweights, motorized tracking system, or power equipment, allowing the buyer to select a compatible platform separately. The compact aluminum tube supports the listed lunar, planetary, and deep-sky applications, while final tracking performance, payload support, camera compatibility, and alignment behavior depend on the separately selected mount and accessories.
