Levenhuk Skyline PRO 90 MAK is a catadioptric telescope with a Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design. This design allows for a long focal distance, 1250 millimeters (49.2 inches), to be packed into a tube only 25 centimeters (9.8 inches) long, meaning you can easily go stargazing in the countryside. The 90 millimeter (3.5 inch) aperture and long focal distance make this telescope perfect for high-power planetary observations and deliver high-quality views. At medium power, you can observe various deep-sky objects, such as nebulae and star clusters. This model is for those who do not want to worry about carrying bulky equipment into the countryside for observations, but still want to have a powerful tool for their observations. Furthermore, this telescope can be easily mounted on a standard tripod and, with the addition of an erect prism, it can become a powerful spotting scope for terrestrial observations.
The lenses and mirrors have undergone an FMC treatment, which allows maximum light collection and increases their useful life. The sturdy, lightweight aluminum tube is set on an equatorial mount equipped with slow-motion control knobs. Furthermore, on the mount, it is possible to install the computerized equatorial system (sold separately). It is equipped with graduated circles, which after a quick adjustment, allow you to locate objects based on their celestial coordinates and follow them with a simple turn of an equatorial adjustment knob. The tripod, adjustable in height, has a practical storage tray where you can store all the objects in use. The red dot finderscope allows you to quickly move to the desired location. The kit includes 10 mm (0.4 inch) and 25 mm (0.98 inch) eyepieces, with a 52° field of view of 125x and 50x magnification respectively. The lenses are made of glass and have undergone FMC treatment. The focus of the telescope is easy to adjust, just like the collimation of the primary mirror by turning the focus knob. This model supports 31.75 millimeter (1.25 inch) eyepieces; this way you can use eyepieces purchased separately, not just those supplied with the kit, thus increasing the magnification to the maximum practical power of 180x. The focuser is equipped with the standard T-thread, which allows you to connect an SLR camera via an adapter and use the telescope for astrophotography.
The Levenhuk Skyline PRO series was designed for experienced and demanding astronomers and includes a range of different models. A common feature is maximum precision and reliability during observations and astrophotography, as well as high-quality materials and lenses.
