• 84% more light gathering than a 6” telescope.
• 6x30 optical finderscope for locating alignment stars
• Integer gear ratios and permanently programmable Periodic Error Correction eliminates recurring track errors from the worm gear.
• Autoguider port for long exposure imaging
• New motors offer improved tracking performance & provide more power to overcome load imbalances

• Attaches directly to the rear cell of the larger Edge optical tubes
• Produces better illumination for today's larger full-frame imaging sensors, all the way to the corners
• Reduces vignetting–darkening around the edges of the image sensor–by providing unobstructed light to the camera

• Instantly transform your normal Celestron 6” Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes(6" SCT) into a yellow-light solar telescope (complete list of 6" SCT look in description section)
• ISO compliant solar safe film protects your eyes when viewing the sun, unlike some other filters on the market
• Solar film produced in the USA by American Paper Optics, one of the suppliers recommended by NASA for safe solar viewing
