Galileo diagonals increase the viewing comfort and usability of Refractor Telescopes. True astronomical telescopes will produce an upside down image. No erecting lenses, mirrors, or prisms are added. Having these elements in the telescope can cause images to be dim and or distorted.
This fact makes terrestrial viewing (land viewing) difficult. Galileo Diagonals will turn the image in your telescope right side up to enable easy, comfortable terrestrial viewing. Galileo diagonals consist of a 45° Schmidt prism and are available in either 1.25 or .965. A .965 to 1.25 hybrid diagonal is also available to enable the use of larger brighter 1.25 eyepieces in your .965 refractor telescope.
The Galileo Diagonals Features and Benefits:
- Format: 1.25″, .965″, & .965″ to 1.25″ Hybrid
- Prism: 45° Schmidt
