The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 90 MAK telescope is a compact optical instrument for space and deep sky exploration. It is perfect for customers with little experience in astronomical observations who are ready to move on to more advanced studies. It's a pretty simple telescope to use, but with more features than basic models. It allows you to observe the Moon, the planets up to Saturn and their satellites. The outer limits of the Solar System are distinguishable, but not in detail. You can observe the brightest celestial objects from the NGC catalog, double stars, all objects from the Messier catalog, as well as planetary and diffuse nebulae.
This telescope has a catadioptric optical scheme, is small and lightweight , with optimal optical capabilities. Thanks to fully multi-coated optics, this catadioptric telescope collects a lot of light, which allows the observation of even faint stars or other dim objects in the night sky. The kit includes two medium magnification eyepieces. The mirror diagonal is useful for observing terrestrial landscapes, an activity that would otherwise be quite inconvenient.
The equatorial mount requires less effort to accurately locate celestial bodies. The astronomical objects of our interest will not escape from the field of view even in the case of prolonged observations. The mount is anchored to an aluminum tripod with accessory tray. It is stable and reliable. The height of each tripod leg can be adjusted individually, which allows you to position the telescope on any type of terrain.
