Description

Levenhuk Skyline BASE 120S is a classic Newtonian reflector, ideal for deep-sky observations. You can see nebulae, double stars, globular and open clusters, galaxies – all the Messier objects and some objects from the NGC catalog can be studied. You will be able to see the Moon and the planets of the solar system. The telescope is designed for beginner astronomers, i.e. it should not be difficult to use for those who have not previously dealt with any advanced optics.

The primary mirror, which is 114mm in diameter, transmits sharp, clear, and detailed images. The telescope comes with the accessories that are necessary for observation, namely two eyepieces: a short-focus eyepiece provides 125x magnification and a long-focus eyepiece provides 25x magnification. Another accessory is a finderscope with 5x magnification that is designed for precise pointing at astronomical objects.

This telescope is easy to operate. The optical tube is mounted on an alt-azimuth mount that allows for moving the optical tube like an ordinary spotting scope – upwards, downwards, to the left, to the right. The mount adjusts on a standard aluminum tripod, stable even on rough surfaces. You can install an accessory tray on a tripod.

Features:

  • Classic Newtonian reflector on an alt-azimuth mount
  • Primary mirror diameter is 114mm
  • Suitable for beginners
  • Ideal choice for deep-sky exploring: nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters
  • You can observe all Messier objects and the brightest NGC objects

The kit includes:

  • Telescope optical tube
  • Alt-azimuth mount
  • Aluminum tripod with an accessory tray
  • 5x24 optical finder scope
  • SR4mm (125x) eyepiece
  • H20mm (25x) eyepiece
  • User manual and lifetime warranty
