Levenhuk Skyline BASE 60T Telescope
Levenhuk Skyline BASE 60T is a refractor that can be used to view craters on the Moon, phases of Venus, faint and double stars, and terrestrial objects. And although you can see many of the beauties of our Universe in Levenhuk Skyline BASE 60T, it best displays near space. Therefore, a budding astronomer or a child interested in science will appreciate it more than others. Thanks to simple controls and good equipment, this telescope is perfect for first observations and can become a welcome gift for many astronomy lovers. Fully coated glass optics are installed inside the telescope. The lenses convey a clear and contrasting image, do not become cloudy over time, and work well on dim objects. The optical tube is mounted on an azimuth mount. It takes very little time to master it - even a child can quickly master the control of the telescope. An optical finder also helps in searching for objects on the sky or horizon. It comes with a telescope and provides 5x magnification. In addition to the finder scope, there are other accessories in the telescope box. Two eyepieces are used to select the correct magnification. With a short-focus eyepiece, the magnification of the optics increases to 175x, with a long-focus eyepiece it decreases to 35x. The higher the magnification, the more details can be seen on space objects, while low magnification helps in studying extended objects. A wrapping prism is included in the package. The diagonal 90-degree prism makes it convenient to observe tall objects and makes the image straight (not inverted, not mirrored). An aluminum tripod is used to install the telescope. It is stable and reliable. Thanks to the legs, the length of which can be adjusted, the tripod stands firmly even on uneven surfaces. There is a tray for accessories.
