Description

The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 90 MAK Telescope is a compact optical tool for exploring outer space and the deep sky. It is excellent for users with little experience in astronomy but who are ready to move to more complex tasks. It is a rather simple-to-use telescope but it has more advanced functionality than the entry-level models. It is suitable for observing the Moon, planets all the way to Saturn, and their large satellites. As for the far limits of the solar system, they are discernible but without much detail. You can observe the brightest objects from the NGC catalog, double stars, all of the objects from the Messier catalog, and planetary and diffuse nebulae.

The telescope uses a catadioptric scheme and, therefore, it is small and lightweight, and it features perfect optical capabilities. Due to fully multi-coated optics, this catadioptric telescope gathers much light, which allows for observing dim stars and other dim objects in the night sky. The kit includes two eyepieces that provide average magnification. A diagonal mirror is used for observing terrestrial landscapes: It won’t be convenient to conduct observations without it.

An equatorial mount means that the accurate tracking of astronomical objects across the sky requires less effort. These celestial objects do not “run away” even during long observations. The mount is attached to an aluminum tripod that also has a stable and durable accessory tray. The height of each tripod leg is adjusted individually so that the telescope can be placed on almost any surface.

  • Catadioptric telescope on an equatorial mount
  • Fully multi-coated optics
