| Galileo FS-80 Telescope$65.00 to $80.00

The Galileo FS-80 reflector telescope is a great beginner's reflecting telescope. The large 80mm primary mirror cell collects 33% more light than a 60mm refracting telescope. 1.25 focus housing permits the use of larger higher quality 1.25 eyepieces. Yoke mount makes the telescope easy to manage through altitude / azimuth (Up & Down, Left & Right) movement, and altitude slow motion control rod for precision adjustmentsMinimize

Meade Digital Series telescopes bring microprocessor technology and the very latest in electromechanical design to the serious beginning or intermediate observer. Completely re-engineered and redesigned, Meade DS-2080AT telescopes provide extremely smooth motions in both altitude and azimuth, and, most importantly, include a fully integrated Autostar control system as standard equipment. Oversize bearings on both telescope axes of all models negate the imprecisions found universally, virtually without exception, on competing models.Minimize

Diffraction-Limited Optics Meades Schmidt-Newtonian and Schmidt-Cassegrain optics yield pinpoint stellar images over an extremely wide field-of-view with only half the coma of standard Newtonians of the same focal ratio.

For those who want to experience astronomy but not get too committed, the Tasco Spacestation 60AZ may be the perfect scope for the first.

All of the major planets except Pluto are easily observable through Meade's brand-new 80mm (3.1) achromatic refractor telescope. You can study Saturn and its ring system; the primary cloud belts of Jupiter and its 4 major satellites; the Moonlike phases of Mercury and Venus; and much more.
