Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 130S Telescope will help you discover the beauties of outer and deep space. It is perfect for exploring galaxies, double and single stars, nebulae, globular and open clusters, and it is also excellent for observing planets of the Solar system, or the Moon. It is suitable for detailed observations of Mars, Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter. All of the necessary optical accessories are included in the kit, so you do not have to purchase any additional items.
The optical tube is mounted on an equatorial mount operated with a slow-motion control knob. This type of the mount requires time for learning how to use it, but it is excellent for lengthy observations of the night sky. Celestial objects permanently move on the sky and, therefore, you need to move your telescope accordingly. An equatorial mount makes this process much easier.
Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 130S features a rich kit. Here, you will find everything necessary for successful observations: two eyepieces with different focal length, a 2x Barlow lens, an optical finderscope with a 6x magnification. You receive a sturdy and reliable aluminum tripod with an accessory tray together with your telescope.
You can put the telescope even on a rough surface due to its legs with adjustable height.
