One of My Favorite Telescopes - Explore Scientific AR152

This is a video I made a while back for Explore Scientific touching on the highlights of one of my favorite telescopes. This is their AR152, a 6-inch achromatic refractor telescope. I hope you enjoy it.

While the AR152 isn't necessarily a top performer in every category, it is extremely versatile. It does an admirable job with most tasks while still being rather affordable (as far as large telescopes go), offering a tremendous value to an astronomer of any skill level.

This serves as somewhat of an intro for me into longer-format videos. I hope to be publishing these more often!
