Celestron Advanced VX 6 SCT (SKU: 12079)

The Schmidt-Cassegrain system features a compact and portable telescope with a 15 cm (6") diameter. Despite its modest size, this optical instrument proves to be quite useful for observing nebular objects and exploring the planets within our solar system. By equipping the tube with a T-Adapter and T-Ring, it functions exceptionally well as an astrograph.
