The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 120S telescope is a Newtonian reflector with a spherical primary mirror with a diameter of 114 mm. It is suitable for observing the Moon, the planets of the Solar System, nebulae, galaxies, star clusters and many other celestial bodies. Thanks to the large aperture, it is possible to observe bright objects from the Messier and NGC catalogs. In closer space, this telescope allows you to observe the polar caps of Mars, the weather changes on Venus, the rings of Saturn, the satellites of Jupiter and even the very distant Uranus and Neptune, although not in detail.
This telescope is suitable for both beginners and more experienced astronomy enthusiasts. The telescope is equipped with an equatorial mount, which allows fast pointing and practical tracking of desired objects, even in the case of prolonged observations. Some practice is required to master the use of a telescope with this mount, but this will not hinder the well-motivated beginner. The mount is attached to an aluminum tripod with adjustable height. It is also equipped with an accessory tray.
The kit includes the accessories necessary for a wide range of observations and allows you to avoid additional purchases. Two eyepieces with different focal lengths and a Barlow lens are included. Their use in various combinations allows you to obtain the optimal magnification depending on the celestial body you wish to observe. The optical finder has 6x magnification.
