Catalog description
Galileo 800x72 Refractor Telescope, part number DIMI002, is a discontinued product from the 2007–2011 catalog. It was last listed at $129.99.
The Galileo CC-872 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. Terestrial viewing is extremely easy due to the included 45° diagonal which produces a totally erect image. The Mount features a slow motion alitude adjustment rod for precision adjustments and 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 large 1¼″ format focus tube.
The Galileo CC-872 optical tube assembly features a 800mm focal length. The objective lens is an 72mm 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 1.61 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. Included with the CC-872 are an 1¼″ 6.8mm to 16mm zoom eyepiece (42° apparent field of view @ 6.8mm) an 1¼″ 20mm eyepiece (52° apparent field of view) and a 3 element 3x Barlow.800mm x 72mm Optical Tube AssemblyDiffraction limited Optical Tube Assembly (λ4)Altitude Azimuth Yoke MountSlow Motion Altitude Adjustment RodFully Adjustable Pre-assembled Metal Tripod w/Accessory TrayGalileo Mars Eye Electronic Finderscope1¼″ Metal Helical Rack & Pinion Focuser1¼″ 6.8mm to 16mm Zoom Eyepiece1¼″ 20mm Eyepiece3 Element 3x BarlowGalileo Planetarium CD-ROM w/Instructional Telescope TutorialOne Year Warranty
