Description for Galileo Refractors 700x60 CC-2 Optical
Tube Telescopes:
The Galileo Refractors 700x60 CC-2 Optical
Tube Telescope is mounted on an Altitude Azimuth yoke mount. It's easy use up
and down, left and right movement is great for beginners and casual star gazers
alike. Terrestrial viewing is extremely easy due to the included 45 degree
diagonal which produces a totally erect image. The Mount of this Galileo
Refractor Telescope features a slow motion altitude 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 360 degree rotating focus housing for the ultimate in
convenience and usability. The Galileo 700x60 optical tube assembly features a
700mm focal length. The objective lens is an 60mm 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 1.9
arc seconds. The optical tube assembly is diffraction limited at λ4 (1/4 wave in
Sodium light). The diagonal consists of a 45 degree 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-2 are a 6mm eyepiece (52° apparent field of view),
a 20mm eyepiece (52° apparent field of view) and a 3 element 3x Barlow.
