Levenhuk Skyline PRO 80 MAK Telescope - LEVENHUK
Levenhuk Skyline PRO 80 MAK is a basic model of the Skyline PRO series. The Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design of this telescope offers a compact tube and high-quality views. This is a perfect instrument for observations of deep sky objects, such as star clusters, binary stars, nebulae and other galaxies. However, you will be surprised by its capabilities during planetary observations. The telescope is installed on a reliable German equatorial mount. Levenhuk Skyline PRO 80 MAK is wonderful for field observations, as you will have no difficulty carrying it or preparing it for your 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 height-adjustable tripod has a handy accessory tray where you can store all your tools. 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.
