Its redesigned base includes adjustable altitude tension and a white trim for better night visibility.

## Description

The Orion SkyQuest XT6 PLUS Dobsonian features cool design enhancements and an expanded accessory package compared to our standard XT6 Classic Dob. Starting from the bottom up, we gave the SkyQuest XT6 PLUS a redesigned, streamlined Dobsonian base with weight-saving cutouts. A white trim band around the base enhances visibility in the dark. An eyepiece rack is included to hold as many as three 1.25" eyepieces. An altitude axis tensioning knob improves control of the telescope's altitude motion. The optical tube, which sports an attractive "twilight blue" metallic finish, houses a 150mm parabolic mirror with enhanced-reflectivity (94%) aluminum coatings for superior light transmission compared to standard mirrors. The included 10mm Sirius Plossl eyepiece provides powerful 120x views, or you can insert the 10mm ocular into the included Shorty 2x Barlow to boost magnification way up to a whopping 240x! The included 25mm Sirius Plossl eyepiece is great for wider-angle views at 48x, or use it with the Shorty 2x Barlow to view at 96x. We replaced the typical secondary mirror collimation setscrews with big thumbscrews, for easier, tool-free adjustment when a collimation tweak is needed. With sharp, powerful optics and point-and-view simplicity, this eye-catching 6" Dobsonian reflector shines as a plus-sized value.

Review: Great telescope! - I did a lot of research and watched a ton of videos before buying this scope. I found it was the best bang for the buck. I'm just a beginner but I didn't want a beginner telescope that I would need to upgrade later. I felt this was a good mid level telescope. I had to wait a week or so because of clouds to test it out but my first night out (I mean very first time even trying to look for anything ever. Complete beginner.) I looked up and found some bright stars. I was able to pull up celestron app and found it was Orions belt. Started star hopping and found Beatlegeuse. Even Mars. I could even see Orions nebula from my light polluted back yard in the city. Without the scope I can only see 10 or 15 stars. But when I look in the eye piece I can see thousands. A couple nights later I took it out again after waiting for more clear skies (it's rain season at the moment) the moon was out this time. We couldn't see as many stars because the moons light (I think) and was also a little hazy. But when looking at the moon the wife and I couldn't believe the details this telescope provided. From the naked eye, the moon was just a sliver. I will post a picture. I can't wait to take this bad boy camping in the mountains with no light pollution and see what's really out there. The scope came collimated already but with all the clouds lately I have been practicing collminating. Took a bit to get the hang of but Orion has good videos and I can collminate this scope in a couple minutes now. I found this scope easy to use and setup. I have seen reviews on other Orion listings bashing the Ez finder scope but I have no issues using it. Was easy to dial in and I just put the red dot on a star or object then look in the eye piece and the object is there. The Ez finder works great people!!!! Also, Orions customer service is 100%. (Update a few days later) Woke up at 4:30 AM because I found out that Jupiter, Saturn and Venus would be visible. Pulled up my app to know where to look then with the Ez finder I put the dot on Jupiter and looked through the scope and it was right there. Amazing. Unfortunately it was too bright to see any details but looked like a bright ball with 4 moons around it. I will be ordering a filter kit so I can see the bands and hopefully the storm. Next stop Saturn. Just as easy to find with the Ez finder. Saturn looked unreal. It's small but can perfectly see the rings. Was worth waking up early for. Went to back to bed before Venus could come over the horizon. I couldn't get a picture of Jupiter and Saturn because it is too hard being that zoomed in and this telescope really isn't meant for taking pictures. I did buy a cell phone mount adapter so I can get better pictures of at least the moon. I will post updated picture. If I manage to get decent pictures of Saturn and Jupiter I will come back and post it. This is the first telescope I have ever owned or used and in one week I have seen Orion and nebula. The moon. Mars. Jupiter. Saturn. If I stayed awake a little longer I could have seen Venus, maybe I will tomorrow morning. I definitely recommend this telescope.
Review: Stay connected! - My wife and I bought this for our 13 year old daughter and she LOVES it! Once I showed her how to set the telescope up and focus it she was hooked. She first time she looked through it she cried at the beauty she saw. Now THAT’S a response to a gift that every parent dreams of. This Orion telescope was recommended to me by a pastor friend who has an astronomy ministry and has forgotten more about telescopes than I will ever know. I looked at the XT8 but the price jump was a little much for her first telescope. Once I saw her reaction, I kinda wish I’d made the jump. My hope is that she takes this scope with her one day and I’ll have an excuse to buy a bigger one. The telescope came in two boxes. One for the tube, mirror and lenses and one for the base. Assembly was VERY simple. The base was the only thing that needed assembly. As a matter of fact my daughter put the base together and calibrated the telescope herself. She WOULDN’T let me help. Everything else were things that you’ll be taking on and off between viewings anyway. The telescope and base is very well made and feels as though it will take a beating. To set up for viewing the stars, plan on making two trips if you’re by yourself. There’s a picture of a big guy carrying the scope under one arm and the base in the other hand. I’m a big guy as well and could pose for a picture like that but not carry it any distance safely. It’s not so much the weight as it is the bulk. It’s best to take the base out to the location first and get it set up nice and level, THEN bring the telescope. We plan on enjoying this telescope for many, many years. There really is nothing better than staying connected with my teenage daughter for a few more years while enjoying God’s beautiful creation.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the dimensions packing of this item? and the net weight?**
A: Weight, optical tube: 13.5 lbs.
Weight, mount/tripod: 20.9 lbs.
Weight, fully assembled: 34.4 lbs.

**Q: What are the dimensions of the shipping boxes?**
A: I am unsure but we were not able to wrap them for Christmas as the two boxes were VERY LARGE. They both were somewhere around 4-5 feet in length.

**Q: Does this package come with the solar filter?**
A: No, it comes with a barlow, a shorty...no filters. The spotter is awful, but the scope is great. You might want to look into a better spotter & a moon filter 13 %, from what i understand you need two solar filters to use in the sunlight. One for the eyepiece another caps the tube

**Q: Can it be hooked up to computer**
A: No

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ View finder did not work
*by R***N on January 11, 2021*

The EZ Finder II viewfinder did not work when I received the scope about on Dec 20, 2020. I tried calling the company, was put on hold for 15 min then disconnected (maybe not their fault). i sent an email, got an automated reply they would contact me shortly but never did get a reply back. I looked at the finder scope more carefully, place a wad of aluminum foil underneath the battery and viola, the view finder worked. Have only used the scope 3 times. imagery appears to be reasonably good.
