The Galileo SS-872SF Refractor Telescope and Galileo Solar Filter Cap allows you to view the Sun safely. Day or night, either used traditionally for night viewing of the moon, planets in the sky or terrestrial scenes during the day, as well as together with the included Solar Filter Cap to view the Sun safely, finding your target is easy with its Altitude Azimuth yoke mount featuring a slow motion altitude adjustment rod for precision adjustments, attached to a very sturdy, fully adjustable, pre-assembled metal tripod with retractable rubber feet. Terrestrial viewing comfortable as well with the included erecting prism which produces a totally erect image. The telescope’s optical tube assembly is finished out with a large 1¼″ format focuser.
The Galileo SS-872SF optical tube assembly features an 800mm focal length. The objective lens is a 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 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 SS-872SF are a 1¼″ 6mm eyepiece (133X Power/Magnification) a 1¼″ 20mm eyepiece (40X Power/Magnification), and a 3x Barlow which triples the power when used with each Eyepiece.
