Digital camera reviews of Galileo Visions CC-2800 800MM*60MM Astronomical Terrestrial Telescope
Digital camera Review: Great for land and sky
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this telescope for my nephew to use it for views across the land as well as looking at the Moon and planets. As he is a beginner, the pre-assembled tri-pod and altitude / azimuth mount make the scope very easy to set up and use. After doing a little research, I found the 800mm focal length would be an additional advantage for his first views. We also found that the supplied 3x Barlow is useful with only the 20mm eyepiece. If it's used with the 6mm eyepiece, the resulting 400x power exceeds the capability of the 60mm lens. However the 6mm eyepiece used alone provides 133x and works well with bright objects like the Moon. The red dot locater, once I helped him align it to the telescope, proved to be very helpful in aiming at objects in the sky. I also found the diagonal prism enabled him to view objects on the ground right-side-up as opposed to upside down or backwards. Also the Planetarium CD has been very helpful for him as he learns more about his new hobby. I would recommend this telescope for any beginner who is interested in owning a telescope suitable for daytime and nighttime use. I am sure I'll be buying a larger more sophisticated telescope for him in the future.
Summary of Galileo Visions CC-2800 800MM*60MM Astronomical Terrestrial Telescope
The Galileo CC-2800 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. Terestrial viewing is extremely easy due to the included 45° diagonal which produces a totally erect image. The Mount features a slow motion alitude 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 360° rotating focus housing for the ultimate in convenience and usability.The Galileo CC-2800 optical tube assembly features a 800mm focal length. The objective lens is an 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 objective is fully multi-coated and has a resolving power of 1.9 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 (refractive index: n = 1.38). 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 CC-2800 are a 6mm eyepiece (52° apparent field of view), a 20mm eyepiece (52° apparent field of view) and a 3 element 3x Barlow.Refractors
