FEATURES

• Schmidt-Cassegrain
  optics: 6" aperture (1524mm focal length f/10). Aluminum tube
  construction, 7" diameter x 14.2" length. Guaranteed
  diffraction-limited performance


• Fully
  multicoated optics: UHTC anti-reflection multicoatings on both sides of
  the clear water white glass Schmidt corrector plate, plus high light
  transmission enhanced aluminum multicoatings on the Pyrex mirrors, provide
  a 16% increase in light throughput compared to standard coatings


• Fully
  baffled optics: A series of glare stops machined into the inner surface of
  the central baffle tube of the LT-6SC prevents stray off-axis light from
  reaching the image plane. This yields a contrast improvement for lunar,
  planetary and deep space observing alike.


• Finderscope:
  A straight-through red dot finder allows easy non-magnified views of the
  sky, with a projected red dot of light showing exactly where the scope is
  pointed at all times.


• Star
  diagonal: 1.25" 90 degree prism type.


• Eyepiece:
  1.25" 26mm Super Plossl (59x). The eyepiece field of view is 0.88
  degree, 76% wider than the full Moon, for expansive lunar and deep space
  views.


• Powered
  by eight user-supplied C-cell batteries: The batteries store in the drive
  base so you can use the LT-6SC in the field or your backyard without the
  need for a separate battery pack or AC power supply


• Surprisingly
  light: Its optical tube, fork arm and drive base weigh only 30 pounds,
  while the adjustable height tripod weighs only 9 pounds more. This light
  weight/two-part system makes it easy for one person to transport and
  assemble the scope, even a youngster.


• Fork
  mount/drive system: Light-weight, but rigid, die-cast aluminum single fork
  arm damps vibrations quickly. There is a carrying handle at the top of the
  fork arm. The mount includes 12volt DC slewing and tracking motors with
  4.875" worm gear drives in both altitude and azimuth


• Adjustable
  height tripod: The rugged steel tripod adjusts in height from 25.5"
  to 43.5". Its steel legs damp vibrations quickly and a center leg
  brace adds rigidity


• AutoStar
  computer: The LT-6SC'''s AutoStar computer hand control plugs into the
  telescope'''s fork arm to permit a wide array of telescope options


• At
  the push of a button, the LT-6SC will move at a fast 6.5 per second to any
  of the 30,223 objects in its database and center it with five arc minute
  accuracy, trainable to three arc minute accuracy


• The
  AutoStar will also locate the centroids of all 88 constellations and 50
  objects in the solar system


• The
  AutoStar computer includes hundreds of special event menus, guided tours
  of the night'''s best objects, a glossary, utility functions and telescope
  status options


• AutoStar
  computer operation: The operation of the LT-6SC is simplicity itself. Once
  you mount the scope on its tripod, aim the scope north and level the
  optical tube


• It
  takes only a few minutes to begin observing. For the rest of the evening,
  a computer in the AutoStar controls the scope'''s altitude and azimuth
  motors to keep you precisely centered on whatever you aim at, for as long
  as you want to observe.


• AutoStar
  Software Suite: This new software package is included as standard
  equipment with the LT-6SC. It is designed to integrate the telescope with
  your PC or laptop computer for an enhanced range of performance features
