Telescope-DobsonianTelescopes-Apertura AD6 Dobsonian 6″ Telescope with Accessories

Premium Optics for Premium Views
The Apertura AD6 reflects quality from its base to its optics. The 93% reflective mirror is finished with an aluminum and silicon-dioxide coating providing the viewer with the brightest possible views through the eyepiece. Along with peak reflectivity, you’ll be witness to high contrast views of open clusters with tack-sharp stars–a combination not possible without Apertura-quality optics. The large thumbscrews on the primary mirror cell allow for simple collimation adjustment and perfect optical alignment. This is key for getting the most out of your Apertura Dobsonian. An Apertura laser collimator makes this collimation process doable in just a couple of minutes.

Built for the Beginner, by Seasoned Amateur Astronomers
The smooth alt-az movement of the optical tube and base lends itself to the quality of construction and to the quality of the altitude and azimuth bearings. The 6×30 optical finder scope pairs exceptionally well with this smooth movement making locating objects even easier. Once you arrive at your object, the machined aluminum dual-speed focuser allows for precise focus adjustments–perfect for fighting atmospheric turbulence when viewing planets and star clusters. Also included are a 9mm and 25mm Plossl eyepiece for viewing objects in the solar system and deep space objects respectively. If you ever want to upgrade your eyepiece for an even more immersive deep sky visual experience, the Apertura AD6 allows the use of 2″ eyepieces as well. These types of views are unmatched. As you progress through your visual astronomy journey you will grow to appreciate the smooth movement and ease of use that the AD6 offers – something our team considers a top priority for a beginner Dobsonian.
