The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 130S telescope is a powerful Newtonian reflector that will introduce you to space exploration and allow you to observe its most distant places. Through this telescope you can observe hundreds of star clusters, galaxies and nebulae, double and normal stars, and other celestial objects. You will also be able to observe Messier objects and objects from the NGC catalogue, with detail and clarity for most of them. You can also explore outer space. This telescope allows you to observe lunar craters whose diameter is greater than 4 km, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Venus. The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 130S is a perfect telescope for detailed examination of space.
You can handle the optical tube with the help of an equatorial mount. It's a little more complicated than an azimuthal mount, but it allows you to track celestial objects accurately and effortlessly. Learning to use it requires a little more time, but the quality and comfort of the observations will not disappoint you. The mount attaches to a height-adjustable aluminum tripod, which can be easily adjusted to the height of the observer. An accessory tray can be easily installed on the tripod.
This telescope is equipped with an expanded optical accessory kit. A 6x optical finderscope allows you to point the optical tube at celestial objects. You can choose between two eyepieces to obtain the appropriate magnification for observations. A Barlow lens increases the magnifying power of the optics. The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 130S telescope does not require additional purchases, as the kit includes everything you need.
