The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 90 MAK telescope is a compact optical instrument for exploring outer space and deep space. It is excellent for users with little experience in astronomical observations who are ready to do more advanced scientific research. It is a fairly easy telescope to use, but with more features than entry-level models. It allows you to observe the Moon, the planets up to Saturn and its satellites. The far edges of the Solar System can be discerned, except for details. You can observe the brightest objects in the NGC catalog, double stars, all objects in the Messier catalog, as well as planetary and diffuse nebulae.
The telescope uses a catadioptric optical system, is small and light, and has perfect optical performance. Thanks to its fully multi-coated optics, this catadioptric telescope has great light-gathering power, allowing you to observe faint stars and other faint objects in the night sky. The kit includes two eyepieces that provide medium magnification. A diagonal mirror is used to observe terrestrial landscapes: it would not be comfortable to conduct observations without it.
The telescope's equatorial mount allows precise tracking of astronomical objects with less effort. These celestial objects do not escape monitoring even during prolonged observations. The mount attaches to an aluminum tripod, which is provided with an accessory tray. The tripod is stable and durable. The height of each tripod leg can be adjusted separately so that the telescope can be installed on almost any surface.
