A 6" mirror with a focal length of about 15" will be a F2.5 which will be a very difficult scope to build and get any real quality with it. In addition, the magnification may be a bit more than you wish as you eye will have a opening of about 2-3mm at the most and the objective is 150mm which means that you need to have at least 50x (probably 75x or higher) in order to use all of the objective in the daylight. At night, the eye will open to about 6-7mm which means that 25x will be pretty much the minimum magnification that will be needed to use all of the objective.
