The Galileo CC-JRME is mounted on an Altitude Azimuth yoke mount. Its easy use up and down left and right movement is great for beginners and casual star gazers alike.

The Mount is attached to a very sturdy fully adjustable pre-assembled metal tripod with retractable rubber feet. The telescopes optical tube assembly is finished out with a 360° rotating focus housing for the ultimate in convenience and usability.

The Galileo CC-JRME optical tube assembly features a 600mm focal length. The objective lens is an 50mm two element achromat (color correct crown & flint) air spaced objective lens. The tube itself is aluminum painted flat black internally and fully baffled for excellent visual and CCD imaging. The objective is fully multi-coated and has a resolving power of 2.28 arc seconds. The optical tube assembly is diffraction limited at λ4 (1/4 wave in Sodium light). The diagonal consists of a 45° Schmidt prism that is fully coated in Magnesium Fluoride (refractive index: n = 1.38). The finderscope is Galileo’s Mars’ Eye electronic Finderscope which helps by getting the observer behind the telescope without losing the surrounding field of view when targeting objects.
