This is a brand new, factory sealed, telescope: We have found this incredible new brand of quality telescopes and are now making them available for sale directly to the public with a special arrangement with the factory. The TwinStar family of optical instruments is made by one of the largest "private label" optical component fabricators in the world. In fact, this telescope was manufactured in the very same factory that makes optical products for Bushne, Tasc, Knus and many other name brands. While this is nearly the same instrument you may see in a catalogue for hundreds of dollars more, by developing the TwinStar brand, the factory is able to sell the same product to us for much, much less. This telescope is brand new and has never been removed from the original factory packaging. In addition to the fantastic telescope, you will also receive a high resolution 3 megapixel digital camera that plugs into the USB port of your computer that allows you to view live video and capture images directly to the Windows operating system.

Giant 6 Inch Mirror: With a large 150mm (6 inch) primary mirror, this reflector telescope is ideal for backyard astronomy and is a great introductory telescope if you are serious about learning all about astronomy. With this six inch telescope, you can see tremendous detail when viewing the moon. With planets you can see the Rings of Saturn and the Moons of Jupiter. In dark skies you can see distant nebulae and galaxies as well.

35 photograph assembly guide: TaxiMarket is the only telescope seller with an online 35 photograph, step-by-step assembly guide. With this easy-to-use guide, you'll be ready to observe the stars without having to fumble through a confusing manual or a complicated assembly diagram. We've made it easy for you to get to the night sky right away! Click here to see a sample of our exclusive online assembly guide!

Great Eyepieces & Accessories: This telescope comes with 2 high powered Plossl eyepieces with storage containers, and a Barlow 2x lens. With the Barlow, you can achieve up to 430x magnification of distant objects. Your telescope also comes with a dust-free cleaning cloth, a great map of the surface of the moon and a moon filter designed for reducing moon glare and making surface details more clear, and a poster of the solar system.

Aluminum Tripod & Equatorial Mounting: The aluminum tripod is fully adjustable and allows even taller people to observe the stars without having to crouch down in an uncomfortable position. A handy accessory tray on the tripod makes it easy to keep track of extra eyepieces. With the equatorial mounting, the telescope is designed to move in any direction -- making it possible to track the movements of stars as the track across the night sky. Use the declination circle, hour circle and latitude scale in conjunction to quickly locate any celestial body. Thanks to precision worm gears and a substantial counter weight, the telescope can be balanced so that the slightest finger touch turn of the flexi cables will move the telescope in any direction with a smooth, steady motion.

Direct-to-PC Camera. The included camera uses a 1/2" CMOS imaging chip (the same kind used in regular digital cameras) and USB 2.0 to output 2048x1536 pixel images, 3 Megapixels of information. This is an optimal output for high-resolution video monitors and PC displays. Plus, with the USB 2.0 connection, your live video views refresh at rates as fast as 43 frames per second. Included with the camera is a comprehensive digital telescopy software editing suite. Compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, the software outputs files in nearly every graphics format imaginable, including web standard JPEG, GIF and even PhotoShop .psd files. The software allows you to measure angles, add graphics and text, and do color corrections and contrast adjustments right on your PC screen. The camera also comes with a 3 year warranty, and the camera software comes with unlimited lifetime upgrades and support directly from the manufacturer.

Optional Right Ascension Motor Drive Available: With any telescope, you will find that the stars and planets quickly move out of your field of view as the Earth rotates. With our optional right ascesnion motor drive, you can set up your telescope to track automatically with a star as it streaks through the night sky. You will find the RA motor in our eBay Store.
