The Galileo DB-160 optical tube assembly features a 1300mm focal length. The primary mirror is a 160mm heavy-duty mirror cell with push/pull collimation screws. The primary mirror is aluminized with Silicon Monoxide Quartz overcoat providing 92% reflectivity and a resolving power of .72 arc seconds. The secondary mirror has an obstruction of approximately 25% linear (approximately 6% of the total area). The focuser is a two-inch format metal helical rack and pinion focuser with a two- to 1.25-inch adapter to enable the use of larger two-inch eyepieces. The finderscope is Galileo's CIR electronic finder which is similar in design to the Tel Rad finder. Included with the DB-160 are a 25mm Astroscopic eyepiece, a 1.25-inch 10mm Pl?ssl eyepiece and a three-element 3x Barlow. The 25mm is a three-element, fully color corrected, modified Rank Kasspheric eyepiece with an apparent field of view of 52 degrees. The 10mm Pl?ssl eyepiece is a four-element fully color corrected eyepiece with an apparent field of view of 52 degrees.
