Product Description

Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Tube

The NexStar 6 SLT comes with a versatile 6-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube with a focal length of 1500mm (f/10). It’s equipped with Celestron’s patented StarBright XLT coatings, which significantly enhance contrast and reveal finer details on the Moon, planets, and faint nebulae. The coatings also improve light transmission, resulting in brighter deep-sky objects.

Computerized Alt-Azimuth Telescope

The NexStar SLT features a single-arm, computerized alt-azimuth mount, which allows the telescope to track objects as they move across the night sky. The mount is placed on top of a pre-assembled, adjustable stainless steel tripod.

NexStar+ Hand Control

The computerized hand controller allows you to automatically point the telescope to any of over 4,000 celestial objects at the press of a button. The NexStar+ database includes more than 600 galaxies, 300 star clusters, and dozens of beautiful binary stars. Not sure what to observe? Use the Sky Tour feature, and the NexStar+ hand controller will generate a list of all the best objects currently visible based on your exact time and location.

SkyAlign Technology

Our exclusive SkyAlign procedure makes setting up and using your computerized telescope faster and easier than ever. Just point the telescope at three bright objects in the sky, and the telescope will locate its position and find other objects for you automatically. You don’t even need to know the names of the stars—you can even use the Moon or bright planets!
