The new Omni XLT 150mm reflector is a good all-around astronomical telescope, with 73% more light gathering than 114mm reflectors. Featuring Starbright XLT coatings, the mirror maximizes brightness and contrast.
A 2" Crayford focuser and a CG-4 equatorial mount with steel legs make this a highly desirable model. The optical finderscope make finding objects enjoyable.
If you're interested in astrophotography on a budget, this model should definitely be a consideration. Unlike 130mm or smaller reflecting telescopes, this unit will reach focus with DSLR/SLR cameras without any additional optics, delivering fast f/5 performance. The mount can be outfitted with single or dual axis drives for motorized tracking, and a polar alignment finder - essential tools for accurate sky tracking.
