Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 115S Telescope
Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 115S is a short-focus Newtonian reflector, which is designed for observing galaxies, nebulae, star clusters and other deep space objects. It is small enough, collects a lot of light and works well even against dim stars. This telescope is an excellent choice for the budding astronomer who wants to focus on exploring the distant reaches of the Universe. The telescope has excellent basic equipment. Two multifocal eyepieces are ideal for studying extended objects. They provide a slight magnification and allow you to cover wide areas at a glance. But if necessary, the magnification of the telescope can be “overclocked” to 228 times – however, you will need to purchase additional optical accessories. To control the telescope's optical tube, a classic equatorial mount is used. Using two fine movement knobs, you can accurately and quickly point the telescope at the desired area of the sky and follow the movement of an astronomical object across the sky. The telescope is equipped with an aluminum tripod with a tray for accessories. The height of the tripod legs can be adjusted.
