The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 80S telescope is a telescope for demanding and experienced customers. This Newtonian reflector works perfectly for observing deep space objects: it can observe all objects in the Messier catalog and the brightest objects in the NGC catalog. Dozens of star clusters, planetary and diffuse nebulae are available for observation. It also allows you to explore outer space, including lunar craters, Saturn's rings, Jupiter's atmospheric vortices, Mars' climatic features, Mercury's phases, etc. Even Uranus and Neptune are discernible as small disks.
The telescope lenses are made of fully coated glass. The included accessories have been selected to be able to know all the capabilities of the optics. With two eyepieces and a Barlow lens, you can achieve the highest practical power, allowing you to observe astronomy objects as detailed and sharp as possible, or, conversely, you can use a wide field of view to observe expanded deep space objects. A balanced telescope kit saves you from having to purchase additional accessories.
The telescope is mounted on an equatorial mount. It allows you to track celestial astronomical objects; However, it takes some time to master how the telescope works. The mount attaches to an aluminum tripod. You can place it almost anywhere because the height of the legs is adjustable in a wide range. An accessory tray is included.
