Levenhuk New Skyline PLUS 8" (200/1200) Dobsonian Telescope

Designed for deep-sky and planetary observing, the Levenhuk New Skyline PLUS 8" Dobsonian telescope delivers its best performance under truly dark skies. It is the ideal companion for stargazing trips to the countryside or nights in a remote home, where its large aperture can reveal the best of the cosmos. This telescope allows you to go beyond simply finding objects to studying their fascinating details. You will be able to resolve lunar craters as small as 2 km across, discern the spokes in Saturn's rings, track cloud belts and dust storms on Mars, and see Jupiter's four largest moons not as mere points of light, but as tiny, resolved disks. It can show intricate structures within nebulae and galaxies, transforming globular clusters from fuzzy smudges into fields of distinct stars. The telescope's capabilities are highly appreciated by both beginners who are just starting to explore the universe and experienced observers who have already mastered observing instruments.

The Levenhuk New Skyline PLUS 8" telescope has a 204mm aperture and a 1200mm focal length. Its optical elements are made of BK-7 glass, highly valued for its high homogeneity and purity. The primary mirror has a parabolic shape. This helps effectively collect light rays, correct spherical aberration, and deliver a sharp and pristine image. With aluminum coatings providing 92–95% reflectivity, the mirrors deliver bright, high-contrast images. This ensures high system performance and facilitates the observation of very distant, dim, or low-reflectivity objects. Aluminum coatings perform well across a wide spectral range, from ultraviolet to infrared, making them well-suited for a variety of astronomical observations. The focusing system supports accessories with an optical tube diameter of 2" or 1.25".

The telescope is installed on a sturdy, manually operated Dobsonian mount, made of wood with a high-quality finish. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use the telescope within a temperature range of −5 °C to +35 °C. The Levenhuk New Skyline PLUS 8" comes with essential accessories: two Plössl eyepieces (10mm and 25mm, 1.25") and a red dot finder.
