Description
The Celestron Omni XLT 150 (model 31057) is a 150 mm (6-inch) Newtonian reflector telescope with a 750 mm focal length and sturdy CG-4 equatorial mount. This complete, brand-new, never unboxed kit is supplied in two original boxes: one for the telescope and one for the mount/tripod.
What This Is For
Enjoy observing the Moon, planets, star clusters and brighter nebulae and galaxies. The 150 mm parabolic primary mirror collects light for detailed visual observing, while the equatorial mount provides slow-motion controls to follow celestial objects across the sky.
For motorhome and caravan owners visiting dark-sky campsites, this is a capable telescope to set up when parked. It is a substantial full-sized astronomical instrument, rather than a compact travel scope: allow room to transport and store both boxes safely.

What’s Included & Delivery
One complete kit is available. The telescope is in one box and the mount/tripod in a second box. Standard manufacturer accessories are expected for model 31057; exact contents should be checked against the original packing list before dispatch.
UK carrier delivery: this is a large, fragile, two-parcel shipment and will be dispatched using a suitable courier, with appropriate protective packaging. Delivery pricing and service will be confirmed before the listing is made available for purchase.
Compatibility & Safety
The CG-4 mount is manually operated; it is not a computerised GoTo telescope. The telescope needs a stable setup area and suitable storage when travelling.
Solar safety: never point the telescope at the Sun without a properly fitted, purpose-designed solar filter. Looking at the Sun through an unprotected telescope can cause permanent eye injury.
