Description

Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 105 MAK is a small telescope for beginner users who are looking for a multi-purpose optical instrument for astronomical and terrestrial observations. This telescope works well for studying the Moon, the planets of the solar system, and other popular deep-sky objects. You can easily spot the rings of Saturn, storms on Jupiter, the seasons on Mars, and the atmospheric phenomena on Venus. In addition, double stars, diffuse and planetary nebulae, galaxies, and many other objects in the Messier and NGC catalogs are well-discerned.

The optics in the telescope use a catadioptric scheme, which means that its excellent optical capabilities are inserted into a small compact body. The telescope can be easily placed on a balcony; it is easy to take it with you to the countryside or take it outside the house for conducting astronomy observations. The optics, made of fully multi-coated optics, deliver a sharp and detailed image.

It requires some experience to operate the telescope, yet an equatorial mount provides significantly more possibilities than an alt-azimuthal mount. It allows for smooth and precise tracking of objects in the sky with two slow-motion control knobs. Long observations require very little effort, so you can study more astronomical objects and events.

The telescope is mounted on a stable aluminum tripod. Tripod legs are height adjustable. An accessory tray can be used to hold the accessories. There are two eyepieces with a different focal length with average magnification and a diagonal mirror that is used for landscape observations.

Features:

  • Catadioptric telescope for beginner astronomers
  • Fully multi-coated optics
  • Two eyepieces and a diagonal mirror are included in the kit
  • Sturdy aluminum mount with an accessory tray
  • An equatorial mount provides for ultimate convenient control
