- Brand: Galileo
- Model Number: SS-360BP
- Color: Black
- Additional Dimensions
- Objective Lens Diameter: 60 millimeters (Generally, the larger the diameter of the objective lens, the greater the light-collecting power and the brighter images will appear.)
- Included
- Computerized Star Locator Included: false
- Eyepieces Included: 6mm, 20mm
- Erect-Image Optics Included: true (Provides an image that appears right-side up through means of mirrors and/or compound prism elements.)
- Lens Cap Included: true
- Operation Manual Included: true
- Case Included: true
- Features
- Computerized Hand Control: false
- 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.)
- Electronic Red-Dot Projection Viewfinder: true (Locate astronomical objects more easily by using the electronic red-dot viewfinder, which shows unmagnified upright images. Wherever the telescope is pointed, a red dot or other symbol appears on the projection screen to help the user locate and focus on targets.)
- Mount Type: Manual alt-azimuth
- 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: 60 times
- Exposure Control
- Focal Length: 360 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
- Telescope Class: Refractor
- Assembly Required: Partial

The Galileo SS-360BP portable telescope with backpack/case and Galileo G-SPA Smartphone Adapter kit lets you use the camera feature on your Smartphone to take pictures or video through the optics of your telescope, or use your smartphone to assist navigating your telescope view to your celestial object of interest. The telescope and tripod are lightweight enough to carry on your back for hikes, camping and trips to the beach and set up is quick and simple. The Galileo G-360BPSF optical tube assembly features a 360mm focal length. The objective lens is a fully multi-coated 60mm 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 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 G-360BP are a 1¼″ 6mm eyepiece (60X Power/Magnification) and a 1¼″ 20mm eyepiece (18X Power/Magnification). As well as mounting to the telescope, the Galileo #G-SPA Smartphone adapter lets you use the camera feature on your smartphone to take pictures or video through the optics of your Telescope (or very own binoculars, spotting scope, microscope etc. as well). It also allows you to mount your Smartphone on a standard camera tripod (not included) for hands-free video calls, family photos with everyone in the picture, or anytime you want to include yourself in the action. Fits most popular smartphones.
- Altitude Azimuth yoke mount.: The simple to use up and down, left and right movement is great for beginners and casual star gazers alike and the slow motion altitude adjustment rod enables precision adjustments when following objects across the sky.
- 360mm focal length; f/6 focal ratio: Ideal for observing the moon, the planets, and the stars
- Rack and pinion focusing mechanism: Helps you attain a clear sharp image with precise focus adjustments.
- 60mm Objective Lens: The two element (color correct crown & flint) air spaced objective lens is fully multi-coated for increased light transmission giving bright, sharp, high contrast images.
- Mars-Eye Electronic Red Dot Finder: Allows the observer to target objects from behind the telescope without losing the surrounding field of view.
- 18x, 60x power magnification: A wide range of magnification with the provided eyepieces means you're ready to view the moon, the planets, and the stars.
- G-SPA Smartphone Photo/Video adapter: Use the camera feature on your smartphone to take pictures or video through the optics of your telescope.
- Pre-assembled metal tripod: The sturdy, fully adjustable, pre-assembled metal tripod means you'll be set-up and ready to observe quickly and the retractable rubber feet keeps the tripod from slipping on smooth surfaces.
- Erect Image Diagonal Mirror: Terrestrial viewing is extremely easy due to the included diagonal mirror which produces a totally erect image.
