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

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).

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!

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.

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 200DS Astrophotography Newtonian Telescope, that's what!

Combined with the aperture of 200mm and focal length of 1000mm, this scope is great for prime-focus photography. Higher quality images can be achieved with the optional coma corrector.
