The Galileo G-872BG 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 ?4 (1/4 wave in Sodium light). The finderscope is Galileos 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 G-872BG are a 1? 6mm eyepiece (133X Power/Magnification) a 1? 20mm eyepiece (40X Power/Magnification), and a 3x Barlow which triples the power when used with each Eyepiece.
