Galileo proudly introduces the Galileo Replica Telescope. In March of 1611, Galileo traveled to Rome to showcase his invention. A banquet was given in his honor by Prince Federico Cesi. The guests could clearly locate objects a mile away. They even viewed Jupiter and its moons. Galileo's original telescopes are presently on display at the Institute and Museum of the History of Science. You can see a picture of the scope by clicking here.
This replica of Galileo's telescope is as close to an exact replica as you can get to the scope that was demonstrated for the Roman prince. The Galileo Replica is designed with brushed brass and gloss finish. The telescope itself is a 20x power refractor telescope with twisting ocular focuser, so it is not only beautiful but fully functional as well. The wooden showcase is lined with red velvet, foldout wooden hinges for displaying and brass plaque commemorating the life and death of Galileo Galilei.
