Compare Celestron Advanced C10-N (600 x 245mm) Telescope to Galileo FS-135DX (250 x 135mm) Telescope

The C10-N is the largest Newtonian in its class with 178% more light gathering than the 6 inch model and almost twice the resolving power. The optics of the C10-N telescope are manufactured to Celestron's uncompromising standards. The C10-N uses diffraction-limited parabolic primary mirrors for razor sharp star images across a wide field of view. This telescope is mounted on the very rigid CG-5 German Equatorial mount. A counterweight, latitude scale, setting circles, and slow motion controls on both axes are standard, so you have a fully loaded telescope right from the start. These mounts are the most rigid and stable type in their price range. They feature precision gears for extremely smooth motion. The mount is supported by a heavy duty tripod with 2" steel legs for extra stability and vibration free viewing. Less
