Hi;
At an Astro Swap Fest, I bought a Galileo G-102 Maksutov-cassegrain Scope - OTA only, with the little "Mars'Eye Finderscope".
The OTA has 2 threaded holes for tripod mount and is 115 mm wide and about 283 mm long - to the flat back. It appears to have the front corrector lens at 102 mm dia.
Does anyone know the actual fl or f ratio for this scope, or any other details.
It appears to work well as a spotting scope but I haven't had a decent mount to really check it out.
I can't seem to find anything on the web.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello, Mike.

Can you tell if this is your scope?

If so, its focal length is 1400mm (~f/13.7). It's *not* a Synta product. I haven't heard any feedback from owners/users.

Best wishes.
