Celestron AstroFi 6 SCT Telescope

The Celestron AstroFi 6 SCT Telescope combines a 150mm (6-inch) Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube with integrated Wi-Fi for wireless control via your smartphone or tablet. This computerized telescope offers a large aperture for deep-sky observation and planetary detail, all while eliminating the need for a hand controller.

Advantages

Wireless freedom: Control the telescope entirely from your mobile device using the Celestron SkyPortal app. The AstroFi mount includes a built-in Wi-Fi module, allowing you to navigate the night sky with ease. The 150mm aperture gathers 459x more light than the unaided eye, revealing faint galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. StarBright XLT optical coatings maximize light transmission for brighter, sharper images.
