Celestron Evolution C6 - 6" f/10 Schmidt Cassegrain - optical tube

Celestron Evolution C6 Schmidt Cassegrain | optical tube assembly

6" (150mm) - 1500mm focal length (f/10)

The C6 gathers ca. 40% more light than a 5" (125mm) refractor but is significantly more compact. It is ideal for both the beginner and the advanced amateur who pay attention on good optical performance and a transportable system.

The optical design
The C-6 by Celestron is a powerful but highly transportable Cassegrain system. With this 6" SC, Celestron has closed a relatively big gap between the smaller C5 and the C8. It accepts even 2" accessories with its SC thread - essential for wide field observation.

The internal focusing system
The advantages of focusing by moving the main mirror are undisputed. The only disadvange, the main mirror shifting, has been solved by Celestron. No disturbing shifting degrades the focus precision.

Very versatile with the SC thread and the internal focusing

Adaption of nearly all kinds of cameras without any problems

2" eyepieces and diagonals can be attached

Binoviewers can be brought into focus without the need of a glass path corrector

Astro photography with the C6
The Celestron C6 is a powerful tool for astro photograpy. The big aperture of 150mm and the diffraction limited optical system allow impressive pictures of the Moon and Planets. Additionally, we offer a focal reducer / field flattener for this telescope.

XLT Coatings
The multi-layer anti-reflective coatings allow very high light transmission. Especially around the wave length around 500nm, 10% more light are brought into the eyepiece. Here, the human eye is very sensitive.
