Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
The Galileo CC-872S combines the astro/terrestrial use of a refractor telescope with the brightness of a reflector telescope. This unique combination of aperture and focal length makes the telescope ideal for both daytime and nighttime viewing. The 72mm multicoated air-spaced objective lens provides bright crisp images with no false color. Mounted on an altitude azimuth mount with a micro altitude adjustment rod, you can easily track objects as the earth rotates. The heavy-duty preassembled tripod makes assembly very quick and easy. The two 1.25" professional-size eyepieces provide clean crisp images. Comes with a 20mm eyepiece that offers a wide field of view. The 6.8/16mm zoom eyepiece enables you to change the power of the telescope by simply turning the eyepiece in either direction to increase or decrease the power. It's like having 12 eyepieces in one. The diagonal prism turns images right side up, making this telescope ideal for land activities. The Mars eye finder scope makes locating and tracking an object much easier than a standard optical finder scope. The Galileo CC-872S is a telescope system that can be used 24 hours a day. The Galileo Planetarium CD-ROM is your roadmap to the sky, providing information and images of celestial objects anywhere in the world on any date. No longer do you have to wonder what that bright object in the sky might be.
