 Orion UK VX6 Newtonian Telescope - 150 mm f / 5 - 1/8 Lambda - optical tube

... aperture 150 mm - focal length 750 mm - 1/10 Lambda "Research Grade Optik" with 97% HILUX mirroring
... with Zygo interferometric test report
... New ACU 2 "Crayford Newtonian focuser with 1:10 reduction and improved load capacity


The smallest Orion VX Newton is perfect for entry into amateur astronomy at a high level. In contrast to typical 150 mm Newtons from the Far East, the Orion VX6 offers all the features of a professional telescope, such as a solid focuser, optimized focus position or reasonable versions of the two mirrors. The telescope offers very good performance in the visual field. Astrophotographers can produce very good results with the right coma corrector with DSLR cameras or CCD cameras.

Advantages and features of the Orion UK VX Newtonian telescopes:

- Each telescope is supplied with an interferometric test protocol, you can see how good your optics are
- this VX Newtonian from Teleskop Service comes with a 1/8 Lambda "RESEARCH GRADE" primary mirror
- The main and secondary mirrors have 97% HILUX mirroring for a bright and high-contrast image
- The aluminum tube is thicker and more stable, the adjustment is held well
- The new ACU Newton extract also offers better stability and now also enables astrophotography
- Every VX Newton comes with a computer-optimized 9-point main mirror cell

Technical specifications:

- Tube weight ... 4.5 kg
- Tube length ... 750 mm
- Tube diameter ... 167 mm
- Opening ... 150mm / opening ratio f5
- Secondary mirror diameter ... 50 mm
- Quality main mirror ... 1/8 Lambda - mirror carrier made of Suprax (Schott)

The new ACU 2 "Newton extract:


With a height of just 50 mm, the Orion ACU pull-out is short. This saves valuable optical path and offers good illumination for astrophotography with relatively little shadowing from the secondary mirror.

- 30 mm adjustment range
- 2 "free opening - with anti-reflective inner panels - incl. 1.25" reduction
- Extension tube with stainless steel running rail
- stable 1:10 reduction
- Weight of the extract about 800 grams

The main mirror cell:

The VX Newton is delivered with a computer-optimized 9-point main mirror cell. The main and secondary mirrors are of course fully adjustable. The main mirror cell has a fan built in, which further reduces the cooling time.

Scope of delivery:

- Orion VX Newtonian telescope
- pipe clamps (without prism rail)
- ACU focuser 2 "reduction to 1.25"
- 8x50 viewfinder
- Zygo interferometric test with evaluation
