The Galileo G-1202MD is mounted on Galileo's fully motorized German Equatorial Mount. The mount is electronically driven in both axis; right ascension and declination. At rest the mount will automatically track to the west at 1x sidereal speed. The included hand box controller controls the scope in all 4 directions and features 4 speeds: 2x sidereal, 8x sidereal, 64x sidereal, and Slew (Slewing moves the scope 3° per second). The electronic mount can be run on battery power (8 AA batteries - not included) or with the included AC adapter. It also features a deluxe latitude adjuster for proper polar alignment. The Mount is attached to a very sturdy, fully adjustable, pre-assembled metal tripod with retractable rubber feet. The tripod also features an accessory tray with slots to place 4 1¼″ eyepieces or lenses. The optical tube assembly attaches to the mount by an adjustable tube clamp which in combination with the adjustable counter balance weights ensures easy fluid movement of the telescope at all times. The telescope features heavy-duty primary and secondary mirror cells, and a catadioptric correcting lens for a greater focal length in a shorter optical tube assembly. The telescope tube assembly is finished out with a large 2″ metal helical rack & pinion focus tube. 2″ to 1¼″ adapter is included as well. The Galileo G-1202MD optical tube assembly features a catadioptric design providing an 1100mm focal length (catadioptric correcting lens is fully multi-coated). The Primary mirror is 102mm's in diameter and features a heavy duty mirror cell with push / pull collimation screws. Included with the Galileo G-1202MD are an 1¼″10mm Astroscopic Plossl Eyepiece , an 1¼″ 25mm Astroscopic Eyepiece and a 1.8x Barlow. Lastly, the Galileo Planetrarium CD rom brings skies over your home or anywhere in the world. It also has photos and voice over explaination fo the available images.
