Made of glass, leather and wood, this telescope is an ancient scientific marvel wrapped in a modern day package.This telescope was inspired by the telescope built by Galileo in 1609, this contemporary instrument copies the original form, focal length (1 meter) and construction material. Modern optical technologies make this telescope perfect for quality astronomical observation.Galileo’s Telescope allows you to observe the moon, the major planets, and other celestial bodies scattered through the solar system, and is also a powerful earthbound spyglass.A novel, original object that bridges past and present; a contemporary reinterpretation of timeless form and function. Would make a great mantlepiece item and a wonderful gift.ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONObjective Diameter: 60mmResolving Power: 2"Light Gathering Point: 73,5F/Ratio: f/16,6Kellner eyepieces: 15mm(67x), 12.5mm(80x), 10mm(100x)Height: 35cm-50cmWidth Of Baseplate: 20cmActual colour of wood may vary.
