The XT6i, with its object locator, allow the novice stargazer to find more than 14,000 objects with the push of a button. The dobsonian telescope base is very stable yet portable, and the computer system help locate objects in just a few seconds.

First telescope and I'm very pleased!

I have owned my XT6i for just about a month now, and I am very happy with my choice. I did a lot of research before purchasing this telescope, and while many reviewers will say "aperture is everything," I am very glad I went with a slightly smaller scope that includes the object locator. The "push-to" navigation is very easy to use, and I have been able to find some really beautiful objects with the controller. For me, the XT6i is just about on the edge of portability--I don't think I'd feel comfortable lugging around a larger scope. Once it is in position, the scope is super stable and easy to push/pull with the slewing knob on the front of the tube. I like the right-angle finder scope, but I will also be outfitting my XT6i with a telrad finder, which will make it a really ideal beginning scope. I recommend this telescope very highly.
