Galileo - 800mm x 60mm Refractor Telescope with Smart Phone Adapter - Wood Grain
- General
- Product Name: 800mm x 60mm Refractor Telescope with Smart Phone Adapter
- Brand: Galileo
- Model Number: SS-G860WG
- Color: Wood Grain
- 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: 10mm, 25mm
- 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: false
- 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: 80 times
- Exposure Control
- Focal Ratio: f/13.3 (Measurement of the device's optic "speed," calculated by dviding focal length by aperture. The smaller (faster) the f/number, the lower the magnification, wider the field of view, and brighter the image - good for low power observing and deep space photography. Larger (slower) f/numbers are better suited for high power lunar and planetary viewing.)
- 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
- Telescope Class: Refractor
- Assembly Required: Partial

Bring the outdoors into your home with this handsome and unique natural Wood Grain finish Telescope from Galileo. The Wood Grain finish is on both the telescope tube as well as the tripod for a complete natural look of the outdoors. The Galileo G-860WG Refractor Telescope 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. Finding your target is easy with its Altitude Azimuth yoke mount featuring a slow-motion altitude adjustment rod for precision adjustments, attached to a very sturdy, fully adjustable, pre-assembled metal tripod with retractable rubber feet. The objective lens is a 60mm fully multi-coated two element air spaced lens and the optical tube assembly has an 800mm focal length. The red dot finder gets the observer behind the telescope without losing the surrounding field of view when targeting objects. Terrestrial viewing is easy due to the 45° fully coated prism producing an erect image. Included are two 1¼" eyepieces: 6mm and a 20mm and the G-SPA. 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 binoculars, spotting scope, microscope etc. as well. It also allows you to mount your Smartphone on a standard camera tripod 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. Lastly, the CBI Stellarium CD ROM brings skies over your home or anywhere in the world.
- 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.
- 800mm focal length; f/13.3 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.
- 32x, 80x 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.
- 45° Erect Image Prism: Terrestrial viewing is extremely easy due to the included 45° erect image prism which produces a totally erect image.
