Product Description
The AstroView 6 is a great telescope for the intermediate viewer. The manual slow motion knobs track objects or add an optional EQ3 DC drive to the mount to power the scope electronically. A good size telescope for planetary and deep sky viewing.If you're ready to graduate from a small scope or want your first scope to have more light-gathering power than typical starter scopes, step up to the AstroView 6. Its 150mm parabolic mirror has a focal length of 750mm (f/5), so it offers generous wide-field views of deep-sky objects when used with the included 25mm Plossl. For lunar and planetary study, use the 10mm Plossl (also included). The AstroView's EQ-3 equatorial mount features manual slow motion controls, which allow you to center and track objects in the viewing field. An optional single- or dual-axis EQ-3 DC drive is also available for electronic guiding. Built in to the equatorial head is a polar-alignment scope for precise orientation on celestial north or south. The mount couples to a sturdy adjustable aluminum tripod with accessory tray. Includes 6x30 finder, rack-and-pinion focuser, and four-vane adjustable secondary mirror support.

Nice Scope with Plastic in all the Wrong Places
By T. Mackenzie
OTA scope seems fine, but the EQ tripod itself is constructed of plastic where it counts most -- at the moving joints. The leg tensioner broke on the 1st night out. Need to find a quality used mount as a replacement.

Astroview 6
By Keith
This is my first telescope. Pretty nice. Fairly easy to assemble. It can see good around our solar system. Having this one makes me wish I would of saved up for an even bigger one.
