These powerful optics can be used for both visual use and astrophotography, providing you with great versatility!

Top-of-the-Line StarBright XLT Coatings
Consistently outperforming other coatings on the market is the patented Celestron StarBright XLT coatings. These coatings further elevate the performance of the C6-A, ensuring maximum light is transmitted to the eyepiece or camera sensor. Three components make up the StarBright XLT: (1) multi-layer mirror coatings comprised of quartz, titanium dioxide, and silicon dioxide, (2) multi-layer anti-reflective coatings made from magnesium fluoride and hafnium dioxide, and (3) high-transmission white water glass within the corrector lens. The result? An outstanding 97.4% average light transmission for impressive resolution of detail!
