The
Schmidt-Cassegrain Celostron
Astro Fi 6 " Telescope is a
150mm aperture
Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with a
fork-high-azimuth mount
. The Schmidt-Cassegrain design allows for
increased power at magnification, that's
ideal for
planetary and deep sky observation in full detail. Up to here it could be a basic initiation telescope, but in it we found a
novelty that has not been developed until now, the possibility of controlling the telescope from your
mobile device through the
wi-fi connection.
The
expansion to 6 " offers the possibility of working with large format telescope openings, in a range of initiation to
the Go-To system with Wi-Fi . This was previously only possible with the NexStar Evolution range, which is intended for a more advanced audience.
The SkyPortal
application for
Android and IOS will allow you to configure the control of your telescope, which already has an
integrated Wi-Fi communication system. To start the observation you will only need
three celestial points , no matter what they are, and he will automatically calculate your position, from here the same function of
SkyAlign will take you on a tour of space. This telescope allows memorizing up to
120,000 celestial
objects .
The
multi-coated optics of this telescope follow the quality of Celestron, incorporating two
eyepieces ,
10 and 25mm (150 and 65X). The focal length is
1500mm and the focal ratio is
10 . Therefore, it is a suitable instrument for planetary and deep sky observation, a much brighter team than its serial partners. With it you can discover the planets in detail and also have a unique view of galaxies and nebulae. It incorporates a precise
optical finder , Star Pointer model and a
diagonal or 1.25 "diagonal prism
The kit comes complete with an
Altazimuth fork
mount , similar to that of the Celestron LCM series, and a very stable
aluminum tripod . This mount is mainly intended for observation use, although it allows astrophotography to large celestial objects, such as the Moon and its surface.
