Celestron Omni XLT 120mm f/8.3 EQ Refractor Telescope

With its large aperture and respectable focal length, the Celestron Omni XLT 120mm f/8.3 EQ Refractor Telescope is an ideal choice for making detailed observations of the moon and planets, with the capability to resolve distant objects like star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae. This model features the optical tube assembly with visual accessories, the manual CG-4 equatorial mount, and a sturdy stainless steel tripod to provide you with a complete observational platform right out of the box.

With its large aperture and a respectable focal length, the Celestron Omni XLT 120mm f/8.3 Refractor Optical Tube Assembly is an ideal choice for making detailed observations of the moon and planets, with the capability to resolve distant objects like star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae. Its moderate focal ratio gives it the ability to achieve high magnification with the addition of optional eyepieces, and thanks to its large 2" focuser and reducer adapter the available options are nearly limitless. The larger drawtube also helps to prevent vignetting when using wide-field eyepieces during observation sessions, or when using large imaging sensor cameras for astrophotography. The OTA is offered without a tripod or pier for those who already have a reliable support system.

Eyepiece: * 1.25" diameter barrel * Accepts most 1.25" astronomical filters * 25mm focal length produces 40x magnification * 50° field of view

Diagonal: * 1.25" snout and eyepiece holder * 90° angle puts head in comfortable viewing position when scope is aimed straight, or nearly straight, up * Star diagonal correct image horizontally, but not vertically, so images are right-side-up, but flipped backwards

Finderscope: * 6x magnification ensures a wide field of view for easier alignment and faster star-hopping navigation * 30mm objective won't add excessive weight and bulk to scope * Mounting bracket included

The Omni CG-4 Telescope Mount from Celestron is identical to the mount supplied with all Omni XLT series telescopes.

This mounting solution comes packaged with two counterweights to ensure proper balance and control.
