Celestron Omni XLT Series Telescopes...

The Celestron Omni™ XLT Series features refractor, reflector and Schmidt-Cassegrain optical designs coupled with the Omni CG-4 heavy-duty German Equatorial mount and sturdy tripod featuring 1.75" stainless steel legs and center tray for superior rigidity and vibration dampening.

Along with the stable platform of the CG-4 mount the Celestron Omni XLT series features high quality optics. Using aspheric shaping technology in conjunction with hand-figuring the optics the Omni XLT presents an image with virtually no spherical abberation. Celestron also added their famous StarBright XLT coating system to further enhance light transmission. The Celestron Omni XLT series is a great choice for astrophotography. Use the optional CG-4 Dual-Axis Motor Drive and CG-4 Polar Axis Finder to track objects for long exposure photography.
