Its an F6.5 150mm Achromat. Be weary when they say :

"The Antares 1529 is a pretty "fast" f/6.5 telescope that is well suited to wide field observations. Despite its short focal length, the Low Dispersion Achromatic objective performs very well with less chromatic aberration (false color) compared to other competitor's telescopes on brighter objects. This is the same objective that was used in earlier production runs, so there is no change in the optics.

Nice for 1 half of a super large binocular, but pretty dissapointing as a telescope I suspect

And its not really portable, save your money for a smaller aperatue semi-APO so popular today...........
