Cassini - 72mm Refractor Telescope - White/Black
- General
- Product Name: 72mm Refractor Telescope
- Brand: Cassini
- Model Number: CC-872
- Color: White/Black
- Additional Dimensions
- Objective Lens Diameter: 72 millimeters (Generally, the larger the diameter of the objective lens, the greater the light-collecting power and the brighter images will appear.)
- Included
- Software Included: Cassini Stellarium
- Eyepieces Included: 2x 1.25" eyepieces: 20mm, 6mm, 3x Barlow lens
- Tripod Included: true
- Material
- Material: Other
- Features
- Magnification Type: Variable (Variable magnification indicates the presence of a zoom function on the device, but fixed magnification cannot be adjusted by the user.)
- Optical Design: Refractor (There are three primary optical designs for telescopes: refractor, reflector, or catadioptric. Refractors use lenses, reflectors use mirror(s), and catadioptric telescopes use a combination of both to form images.)
- Mount Type: Manual alt-azimuth
- Tripod Mountable: Yes
- Multi-Coated Optics: true (Multiple lens surfaces are coated and/or have multiple layers of thin films applied to each. Generally, more lens coatings provide higher levels of light transmission, contrast, and color clarity.)
- Imaging
- Magnification: 399 times
- Exposure Control
- Focal Length: 800 millimeters (The distance from an optical device's primary lens or mirror to the point where light rays come together in a single focused point, used to determine a device's magnifying power.)
- Other
- Slow-Motion Control: Manual (For optimal tracking of astronomical objects, smooth and steady slow motion control is necessary. Manual control requires adjustments made by the user, while mechanical controls automatically adjust.)
- Telescope Class: Refractor
- UPC: 859773004735
The Cassini CC-872 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° diagonal which produces a totally erect image. 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 telescopes optical tube assembly is finished out with a large 1¼'' format focus tube.
The Cassini CC-872 optical tube assembly features a 800 mm focal length. The objective lens is a 72 mm 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 diagonal consists of a 45° Schmidt prism that is fully coated in Magnesium Fluoride. 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.
