Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 60T Telescope
Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 60T telescope is a classic refractor on an equatorial mount. It is perfect for studying near space and shows terrestrial planets and lunar craters well. You can see Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Mercury through it. The ability to accurately track the movements of astronomical objects across the sky makes the telescope ideal for long-term observations. If you have a camera (purchased separately), Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 60T will also perform well in astrophotography. The telescope uses fully coated glass lenses. The optics convey a clear, detailed and clear image, pleasing with excellent detail at maximum magnifications. The delivery set includes three eyepieces, with which you can optimally select the magnification for observing different space objects. A diagonal mirror, also included in the package, is indispensable when studying ground objects. Since Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 60T transmits an upside-down image, and for ground-based observations it needs to be returned to its usual form - the diagonal mirror copes with this perfectly. The optical tube is mounted on an equatorial mount, which is controlled by fine movement knobs. Working with it will require some skill, but guiding objects across the sky with its help is easier and more convenient than using an altitude mount. An optical finder with 5x magnification helps in searching for objects in the sky. The aluminum tripod with accessory tray is stable and reliable. It stands firmly even on uneven surfaces and is easy to adapt to the height of the observer. The height of the tripod legs can be adjusted.
