The Galileo FS-80Z 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. 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 tripod also features an accessory tray with slots to place 4 1¼″ eyepieces or lenses. The telescope tube features heavy duty metal primary and secondary mirror cells.
The Galileo FS-80Z optical tube assembly features an 800mm focal length. The Primary mirror is a 80mm heavy duty mirror cell with push / pull collimation screws. The primary mirror is aluminized with Silicon Monoxide Quartz overcoat providing 92% reflectivity and a resolving power of 1.4 arc seconds. The secondary mirror has an obstruction of approximately 25% linear (approximately 6% of the total area). 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 FS-80Z are an 1¼″ 6mm eyepiece (22° apparent field of view), an 1¼″ 20mm eyepiece (52° apparent field of view) and a 3 element 3x Barlow. Also included with the FS-80Z is a bonus 1¼″ 6.8mm to 16mm zoom eyepiece (42° apparent field of view @ 6.8mm)
