Built around a 6″ (152mm) diameter parabolic primary mirror, the SkyQuest XT6 collects nearly 80% more light than a 4.5-inch reflector telescope. This results in brighter views and greater detail when observing deep-sky nebulas, star clusters, and other celestial wonders. With a focal length of 1178mm and a focal ratio of f/7.7, the XT6 performs exceptionally well for planetary and lunar observation. Bright planets like Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars reveal impressive details, while the Moon’s crater-pocked surface captivates night after night.

Upgrade from the previous version includes a 2″ Crayford focuser, allowing for optional 2-inch eyepieces and a wider apparent field of view. An included 2″-to-1.25″ step-down adapter accommodates 1.25-inch eyepieces, such as the 25mm Plossl that comes with the telescope.

The Orion SkyQuest XT6 Classic Dobsonian Telescope Kit will keep you exploring the night sky for years to come. Happy stargazing!

The extra accessories in this value-packed telescope kit will enhance your stargazing experiences.

Double the magnifying power of any 1.25″ eyepiece with the Shorty 2x Barlow.

The included Orion Shorty 2x Barlow Lens doubles the magnifying power of any 1.25″ eyepiece. Using the Orion Shorty 1.25″ 2x Barlow Lens is easy. Simply insert the Shorty 2x Barlow into your telescope’s focuser or diagonal, and then insert any 1.25″ eyepiece into the Orion Shorty, gently securing it in place with the two thumbscrews. Then, adjust the telescope’s focus wheels to enjoy double the magnification of the eyepiece used.

Explore the Moon’s cratered surface with the help of the MoonMap 260.

The included Orion MoonMap 260 will help the whole family learn the names and locations of more than 260 craters, mountains, valleys, “seas” and other interesting lunar features you can explore with your telescope. Use the MoonMap 260 to identify craters you’ve observed, or use it before you go out with a telescope to plan a night full of Moon-watching family fun.

Deep Map

Begin your night sky explorations with the included DeepMap 600.

Full-color star map of the night sky with clearly indicated positions of 600 of the finest celestial objects to view. Star chart conveniently folds up just like a road map for easy storage and transport. Orion DeepMap 600 shows the night sky from declination +90-deg to -60-deg.
