This standard of quality was set when the first Glass Eye telescopes were produced.  Since that time, each and every year the designers, machinists and optical personnel, have strived for perfection.  Now introducing the results of all of those years - THE CAPE-COD “D’ELEGANCE”.  At no time in history, past or present, has anyone manufactured an optical instrument that would surpass this fine telescope.  Ultra quality and contemporary design allows it to stand alone.

Crystal clear optics featuring an exclusive roof prism erecting system plus an objective lens that is photographically and color corrected to the highest standard are an integral part of each and every telescope.  Exceptionally smooth focusing at your finger tips with no gear driven backlash what-so-ever offers endless viewing enjoyment.

To produce the “D’ELEGANCE”, the designers went much further in all aspects of manufacturing, specifically in the metals and the extra-fine polishing requirements.  Each telescope requires no less than 5 hours of hand polishing followed by copper plating (over solid brass components) followed by nickel plating.  With hand polishing after each step it is then completed with a gleaming chrome finish.

Specifications:  30x(power);  60mm achromatic objective lens (fully coated and photographically and color corrected);  Roof prism erecting system (the only telescope line manufactured anywhere using this system).

Tripod height: 52” (telescope can be adjusted upwards); this tripod is manufactured of hand chosen hardwood and prepared to a “jet black color”.

Telescope tube length: 34”;  Total weight: 26 lbs.

This is the only telescope of its kind in the world.
