The Celestron Omni XLT 120 Refractor Telescope is a superior optical instrument, meticulously crafted to provide exceptional astronomical observations. The telescope begins with each lens and/or mirror being hand-selected, ensuring the use of only the finest grade of optical glass for premium clarity and detail.
Enhanced with Celestron's StarBright XLT coatings, this telescope maximizes light transmission, resulting in brighter and more detailed images. It includes a 25 mm multi-coated eyepiece, offering a generous 20 mm eye relief and a wide 50° field of view for comfortable and immersive viewing.
A 1.25" star diagonal is provided for convenient and comfortable observing angles. The telescope is mounted on a CG-4 German Equatorial mount, featuring setting circles and slow motion controls. This precision mount allows for accurate location and tracking of celestial objects, making it ideal for both amateur astronomers and seasoned stargazers.
The Omni XLT 120 Refractor employs aspheric shaping technology in combination with hand-figuring of the optics, resulting in images with minimal spherical aberration. The addition of the renowned StarBright XLT coating system further enhances the light transmission capabilities of the telescope.
For smooth and stable performance, the mount includes ball bearings in both axes. The telescope is supported by a heavy-duty, pre-assembled stainless steel tripod, which features robust 1.75" legs, an accessory tray, and a bubble level for precise and easy setup.
Designed for convenience, the Celestron Omni XLT 120 Refractor offers an easy no-tool setup, making it accessible to a wide range of users. This combination of high-quality optics, advanced coating technology, and a sturdy, user-friendly mount makes the Omni XLT 120 Refractor an outstanding choice for anyone passionate about exploring the cosmos.
