The Celestron C6-A OTA stands out as a highly versatile optical tube, offering a 1500 mm focal length and an impressive focal ratio of f/10. It surpasses a 5” Cassegrain telescope in light collection, providing 40% greater light gathering capacity. This model is distinguished by Celestron's exclusive StarBright® XLT optical coatings, significantly enhancing contrast and light transmission for more vivid deep space images and reduced exposure times. With StarBright XLT, you'll notice intricate details when observing the Moon, planets, faint galaxies, and nebulae.

The Celestron C6-A is adaptable to a wide range of computerized telescope mounts due to its CG-5 dovetail bar. It also performs excellently on a basic manual altazimuth mount for night sky exploration or as a terrestrial spotting scope during daylight.

Marking a perfect equilibrium in portability, ease of handling, light capturing ability, and affordability, the Celestron C6-A is an unparalleled offering for the amateur astronomer. It's an advanced level instrument that maintains simplicity in usage, comparable to intermediate and even some entry-level telescopes.

StarBright XLT Coatings

StarBright XLT represents Celestron’s groundbreaking optical coating technology, consistently outshining all other commercial telescope coatings. The StarBright XLT high-transmission optical system consists of three primary components:

  1. Unique enhanced multi-layer mirror coatings, comprising precise layers of aluminum, SiO2 (quartz), TiO2 (titanium dioxide), and SiO2 (silicon dioxide). These coatings provide a stable reflectivity across the spectrum, making them ideal for both imaging and visual observation.
  2. Multi-layer anti-reflective coatings composed of MgF2 (magnesium fluoride) and HfO2 (hafnium dioxide) layers. Hafnium, a rare and costly element, extends the band pass beyond what titanium offers in other coatings.
  3. High-transmission water white glass for the corrector lens, in place of standard soda lime glass. This glass type alone transmits about 90.5% of light without coatings, which is 3.5% more than uncoated soda lime glass. Combined with StarBright XLT’s anti-reflective coatings, the average light transmission astonishingly reaches 97.4%.

These components render StarBright XLT one of the most superior coatings available. For further information about our patented StarBright XLT coatings, please visit our website.
