Levenhuk Skyline BASE 80T Telescope
The Levenhuk Skyline BASE 80T telescope gives you the opportunity to study near space in all its diversity. Through this refractor you can observe lunar craters with a diameter of about 5 km, Jupiter, Saturn and its satellites, phases of Mercury. It is also suitable for ground-based observations. Thanks to the rich configuration, there is no need to purchase additional eyepieces or other optical accessories. A telescope can be an excellent gift for a novice astronomer and give a lot of positive emotions to its owner. The telescope lenses are made of glass. The external surfaces are protected by a layer of anti-reflective coating, which improves image brightness. The optics convey a clear and contrasting image and allow you to study even dim objects in the starry sky. The telescope is mounted on an easy-to-use alt-azimuth mount. Even a child can control it: to direct the optical tube in the desired direction, you just need to turn it horizontally or vertically. The mount is fixed on an aluminum tripod. It is durable, reliable and stable. The height of the tripod legs can be adjusted. There is a tray for accessories. The basic equipment of the telescope is impressive. In addition to the traditional optical finder, the package includes two multifocal eyepieces and a diagonal mirror. With their help, you can quickly prepare your telescope for different types of observations. A long-focus eyepiece will allow you to study an extended area of the sky (a planet with satellites), a short-focus eyepiece will be useful for a detailed study of planetary disks or the surface of the Moon, a diagonal mirror is indispensable for ground-based observations.
