The Levenhuk SkyMatic 135 GTA telescope is a reflector on an azimuth mount with GoTo function. This large aperture (f/5) telescope is suitable not only for astronomical observations, but also for astrophotography. Craters on the moon as small as 4.5 miles in diameter, the rings of Saturn, the changing seasons on Mars, and distant nebulae and galaxies can all be observed in detail with this telescope. You can also observe the most extraordinary objects from the Messier and NGC catalogs, asteroids, comets and more.

You can also observe the most extraordinary objects from the Messier and NGC catalogs, asteroids, comets and more.
The maximum useful magnification in the telescope is 260x with the resolution of 1.1". This combination guarantees the highest HD image quality with magnification, suitable for most astronomical observations.
The package includes two achromatic eyepieces, SUPER 10 and SUPER 25, with a diameter of 31.75 millimeters (1.25 inches) which act as a powerful image correction tool. The optics used in the eyepiece are made of glass with a special coating. Field of view of 50–52°.
The telescope is equipped with a computerized AZ 114 GT SynScan altazimuth mount. Thanks to the GoTo function, the telescope is able to capture, with incredible accuracy , any astronomical object based on the coordinates stored in the microprocessor's memory. The computer will automatically guide the user to more than 42,900 celestial objects The Levenhuk SkyMatic 135 GTA telescope is a godsend for novice astronomers: the computerized mounting system will point the instrument to one of the 42,900 celestial objects stored in its database.
