With a direct SLR camera connection and a built in scope holder the six inch Skywatcher refractor telescope is the perfect scope to take along for the ride.

Sleek and lightweight the six inches of telescope doesn't weigh a lot to carry around, but rest assured that you're going to see what you're looking at when it comes time to view the night skies. The f/750 refractor telescope is a compact two element with proven good performance. It is a great telescope for viewing nebulae, planets, bright galaxies as well as star fields and star clusters.

The Skywatcher Startravel gives you a great view of the terrestrial, as well as the extra-terrestrial. With a wide field and a short tube, the scope is great for beginning astronomers who are just finding their way around the heavens. The easier, wider view will assist them in their first phase of finding the various stars and constellations.

With its fast focal ratio it’s also perfect for the more experienced astronomer who wants to take a few great photos. The high speed films of today make it very useful for gathering photos of lunar eclipse as well as solar, and you can also take some great nature and wildlife photos too.

A deluxe Barlow lens with a camera adaptor and the finder scope (6x30) make it a great scope for the beginner, in order to help their interest along. It is also a light, highly portable one that the more serious star watcher will find useful as well.
