This remarkable telescope combines powerful 150mm-diameter reflector optics with point-and-view simplicity in one nicely portable package. And with the included IntelliScope Computerized Object Locator, even the novice stargazer can pinpoint the location of 14,000+ celestial wonders stored in the Computerized IntelliScope’s databank. It’s like having your own personal tour guide to the universe!
You just select an object to observe using the Object Locator’s illuminated menu buttons (Galaxies, Clusters, Nebulas, etc.), or choose a pre-set tour of the best objects, then press Enter. The IntelliScope’s high-resolution, 9,216-step digital encoders direct the telescope right to the object, placing it squarely in the telescope eyepiece.
The Orion Build-A-Scope 6" Computerized IntelliScope Dobsonian Telescope houses a big 150mm parabolic mirror with 80% more light grasp than a 4.5" mirror, for brighter, more detailed images. The streamlined Dobsonian telescope base offers unflinching stability yet easy portability.
With the Build-A-Scope 6" IntelliScope Dobsonian from Orion, you decide which finder scope, eyepiece, and other accessories come with the telescope. You can choose between magnified achromatic finder scopes, red-dot reflex sights, or more deluxe right-angle correct-image or illuminated crosshair finder scope models to be included with the SkyQuest XT6i IntelliScope Dobsonian. You also get to select what telescope eyepiece is included from Orion’s wide selection of quality oculars. Choose from low focal length, high magnification eyepieces, or go after the bigger picture with a wide-angle eyepiece to view a large swath of the sky through the telescope.
Find out just how fun a smarter, well-made beginner’s telescope can be.
