You expect nothing less than crystal-clear images in your scope, but what are you going to do with the mount and tripod you already have? Mount it with the saxon 80 ED Refractor Telescope, that's what!

• Experience our best optical performance with EdgeHD’s aplanatic, flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain optics for pinpoint stars all the way to the edge of today’s largest imaging sensors and widest eyepieces
• Aluminum optical tube with tube vents featuring an integrated 95-micron mesh filter allows hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Mirror support knobs hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift during imaging
• Versatile design accommodates 3 focal ratios: native f/10, f/7 with the addition of a focal reducer, or ultra-fast f/2 imaging with a removable secondary mirror and third-party accessories
• Celestron’s premium StarBright XLT coatings provide maximum light transmission
• A 9x50 finderscope, 2” mirror diagonal for more comfortable viewing, and wide-angle 23 mm Luminos 2" eyepiece are all included

Everyone loves a good mix and match so we can't see a reason why it doesn't apply to telescopes as well. Grab the saxon 127/1500 Observatory Cassegrain Telescope and mount it with an existing (or new) mount and tripod.

This telescope comes with the same great features as its 12715EQ counterpart, with an aperture of 127mm and a focal length of 1500mm. The compact and portable tube design means it's easy to store away when you're not outdoors observing planets and star clusters at night and terrestrial objects during the day. 

Intermediate and advanced observers alike will enjoy the flexibility the saxon 12715 Observatory Cassegrain Telescope provides.

2350 mm focal length (f/10)

25 mm eyepiece included (94x)

Visual back allows for use with 1.25" accessories

6x30 finderscope to help accurately find objects

Star diagonal provides more comfortable viewing position when observing objects that are high in the sky

For customers wishing to fit solar filters, the outside OTA diameter is 272 mm.

NOTE: For solar viewing the Astrozap Glass Solar filter (Product No. 124446) is recommended.

The 6” Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube offers 40% more light gathering ability than a 5” telescope. The Schmidt-Cassegrain design also eliminates chromatic aberration, making it a good choice for entry-level astroimaging.

NOTE: The recommended solar filters for this scope for solar observing are;

- the Orion 185 mm (7.17") Glass Solar Filter (Product No. 125081) or

- the Meade Glass White Light Solar Filter 172 - 180 mm (Product No. 125918).

• 5" Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Design
• StarBright XLT Coatings
• 25 mm (50x) Eyepiece
• 45° Erect Image Diagonal
• 6x30 Erect Image Finderscope
• Water-Resistant Soft-Sided Case
• Limited Lifetime Warranty

NOTE:  For solar observing we recommend the Astrozap Glass Solar Filter (Product No. 124466) for use on this telescope.
