The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 70T Telescope is a refractor on an equatorial mount for exploring planets of the solar system as well as terrestrial objects. The extensive kit will impress even a demanding customer as it eliminates the necessity to purchase additional accessories. This telescope is a great choice for becoming acquainted with space: it allows for observing Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and Mercury. Uranus and Neptune are discernible as bright dots. Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 70T is suitable for observing almost all deep-sky objects in the Messier catalogue, but not in detail.
An optical tube of the telescope is installed on an equatorial mount, which is excellent for observing space. It takes time to learn how to operate the telescope, however, tracking astronomy objects is simple and practical. The mount is moved smoothly and softly; the optical tube is attached reliably and durably. The tripod is made of aluminum; its leg height is individually adjustable to the observer's height. There is an accessory tray.
Accessories are the main feature of this telescope model. They are chosen in such a way as to discover all the capabilities of an optical tool. Use of a short-focus eyepiece together with a Barlow lens allows for achieving the highest practical magnification, which allows for observing distant objects sharp and detailed. A long-focus eyepiece is suitable for studying extended objects. A diagonal mirror provides an opportunity to observe terrestrial landscapes as comfortably as possible.
