A Newtonian reflector Levenhuk Skyline BASE 80S Telescope allows for observing all the beauty of the Universe. This telescope is perfect for studying deep-sky objects, including nebulae, galaxies, star clusters. You can observe almost all Messier objects; this telescope is also suitable for first observations of the Solar system planets and the Moon. This telescope is designed for beginner observers. Due to its rich kit, it will become an excellent gift to anyone who enjoys astronomy observations.
Pointing to astronomy objects is performed manually. To achieve that, an optical finderscope with a 6x magnification and a classic alt-azimuth mount are used. You can move the optical tube along the vertical and horizontal axes, like an ordinary spotting tube. Pointing to the objects is sharp and smooth, without jerks. An aluminum tripod is stable and sturdy. The tripod legs feature adjustable height, there is an accessory tray.
The kit includes all main optical accessories that allow for evaluating the telescope capabilities instantly. An eyepiece with short focal length provides a higher magnification, while an eyepiece with a long focal length is more useful for studying extended space objects. A Barlow lens doubles the optics power.
