Orion StarBlast 6 Astro Reflector
A 6-inch (150mm) tabletop reflector with a short focal ratio (f/5) that produces genuinely wide-field views. The StarBlast 6 is a serious grab-and-go telescope that fits on a tabletop and competes with floor-standing 5-inch and 6-inch reflectors. The f/5 focal ratio makes it well suited to rich star fields and open clusters, and the 150mm aperture gives it real light-gathering capability for its compact size. A strong US-market alternative to the Sky-Watcher Heritage 150P.
