Product Description: The Galileo FS-80 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 altitude 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 eyepieces or lenses. The telescope tube features heavy duty metal primary and secondary mirror cells.The Galileo FS-80 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 ?4 (0.25 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.

You can see the moon very well but not the start I found that this is a good piece of equipment to have for your children to view the moon

I was thinking of spending about $50 on a telescope, after a few minutes I found myself looking at a $300 goto telescope. I've never really used a telescope before, I quickly realized that the hardest thing about shopping for a telescope is figuring out what your budget is.
After I watched the video for this telescope, I decided I could afford to spend a few extra dollars on it. If this had cost $30 more, I would only give it 3 stars.
The good: It is a nice big telescope ... Read More

I bought this telescope for myself because i always loved space. When buying it, i read the other reviews on this scope and saw the one about the bad mount. This is true. Once you get the scope lined up with the object you are viewing, if you so much as touch the scope the image wobbles like crazy. Needs a different mount. Other then that the viewing looks great. The moon looks amazing and it alows you to even see the moons of jupiter. Awesome scope, bad mount.

It was so nice to focus my new Galileo telescope to this star that turned to be Saturn with his rings at the end, and over a week later at early morning I could watch Jupiter with three of his moons. Amazing for the price. I hope to see mars soon.

We own this telescope as well as a pair of the Galileo binoculars and couldn't be happier with the quality and value! Sure, if you have children, as we do, you have to help with set up and offer instruction, but after that it's time to reach for the stars! We have the DVD that gives SO much info! Great purchase!
