Product Description

The 6" refractor has long been regarded as a fine option for planetary and lunar observation in longer focal lengths. This F6.5 version can still provide good Solar system views but at the shorter focal length gives stunning low power wide field views with exceptional contrast from the unobstructed aperture. Small enough to go on medium sized mounts this versatile instrument is very portable for a 6" refractor, supplied complete with a quality finder and 2" diagonal as standard.

Delivery time
Delivery is normally around five business days with this product.
