Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 80S Telescope
Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 80S Telescope is a member of a family of telescopes for experienced and demanding users. This Newtonian reflector works great for deep space objects - all the objects of the Messier catalog and the brightest representatives of the NGC catalog are visible through it. Dozens of star clusters, planetary and diffuse nebulae, and double stars are available for observation. Near space can also be studied, namely: lunar craters, rings of Saturn, atmospheric vortices on Jupiter, weather features of Mars, phases of Mercury and much more. Even Uranus and Neptune are distinguishable, but only in the form of small disks. The optics of the telescope are made of glass and are fully coated. The included accessories are selected in such a way that the capabilities of the telescope are revealed in the best possible way. Using two eyepieces and a Barlow lens, you can achieve maximum magnification, at which astronomical objects are visible in the most detail and clarity, or, conversely, make maximum use of the width of the field of view for viewing extended deep-sky objects. The balanced configuration of the telescope allows you not to think about purchasing additional accessories at all. The telescope is mounted on an equatorial mount. With its help, it is convenient to guide astronomical objects across the sky, but mastering the controls takes some time. The mount is fixed on an aluminum tripod. It can be placed almost anywhere, as the height of the legs is adjustable over a wide range. There is a tray for accessories.
