The Celestron Omni XLT150 Telescope by Celestron has a 150mm Mirror, enabling this Reflector Telescope to have the largest aperture in the Omni XLT Series. The 150 mm Mirror collects large amounts of light, giving clear views of the Moon, Saturn and its rings, Jupiter and its moons, nebulae and star clusters. Celestron Omni XLT Series Telescopes have StarBright XLT Optical Coatings that enhances light transmission, providing maximum contrast and image sharpness. The StarBright XLT Coatings also present a clear an unblurred image. The Celestron Omni XLT 150 mm Telescope is a Newtonian Reflector Telescope making it excellent for faint deep sky objects such as remote galaxies, and also has images free of color abberation due to the use of a primary mirror. These Celestron Telescopes have a 25mm multi-coated eyepiece that is capable of a 30X magnification.

The Celestron Omni XLT 150mm Reflector Telescope also features the stable platform of the CG-4 German Equatorial Mount. This Equatorial Mount is responsible for accurately locating and tracking objects due to its setting circles and slow motion controls. Holding up these high quality components is the telescope 's heavy duty tripod that features 1.75" stainless steel legs. The Celestron Omni XLT150 Telescope is also a good telescope for astrophotography. When used with the optional dual-axis motor drive (Model #93522) and the polar axis finder (Model #94221) to track objects for long exposure photography, these Telescopes can produce superior quality photographs. With these features of a large aperture and high quality optics, the Celestron Omni XLT 150mm Newtonian Reflector Telescope 31057 is a versatile telescope for serious beginners and up, and will give the user a lifetime of enjoyment in astronomy.
