Product Description
If you're ready to graduate from a small scope or want your first scope to have more light-gathering power than typical starter scopes, step up to the AstroView 6. Its 150mm parabolic mirror has a focal length of 750mm (f/5), so it offers generous wide-field views of deep-sky objects when used with the included 25mm Plossl. For lunar and planetary study, use the 10mm Plossl (also included). The AstroView's EQ-3 equatorial mount features manual slow motion controls, which allow you to center and track objects in the viewing field. An optional single- or dual-axis EQ-3 DC drive is also available for electronic guiding. Built in to the equatorial head is a polar-alignment scope for precise orientation on celestial north or south. The mount couples to a sturdy adjustable aluminum tripod with accessory tray. Includes 6x30 finder, rack-and-pinion focuser, and four-vane adjustable secondary mirror support.

Nice Scope with Plastic in all the Wrong Places,
By
This review is from: Orion AstroView 6 Equatorial Reflector Telescope (Electronics)
OTA scope seems fine, but the EQ tripod itself is constructed of plastic where it counts most -- at the moving joints. The leg tensioner broke on the 1st night out. Need to find a quality used mount as a replacement.
