Galileo Optics constantly strives for optics that would make their namesake Galileo Galilee proud. Galileo makes several styles of telescopes including reflectors, refractors, Dobsonians, and brass telescoeps, as well as binoculars, binocular cameras, golf scopes, GPS devices, and microscopes - all built with the highest standard of quality and value. Galileo produces telescopes with the beginner to intermediate sky watcher in mind. The company understands the concerns of the first-time telescope user, and develops their telescopes with these concerns in mind. All Galileo telescopes come with pre-assembled tripods as well as instructional videos. You'll never have trouble setting up a Galileo telescope!
