Levenhuk Skyline BASE 80T is a classic refractor highly appreciated by beginner astronomers. It produces clear and detailed images of space objects. You can observe lunar craters with a diameter greater than 5 km, study the seas and polar caps on Mars, observe the phases of Mercury, Saturn’s moons, and distant Jupiter. The telescope is not powerful enough for deep-sky observations but will allow you to see some nebulae, bright star clusters, and galaxies. Levenhuk Skyline BASE 80T is an excellent choice as a first telescope and will help you learn the basics of astronomical observation and many mysteries of space.
All optical elements are made of coated glass. They do not fog over time, transmit an image with high brightness and contrast, and, most importantly, provide a detailed image even at the highest possible magnification. The kit includes two eyepieces to get the best image quality. One eyepiece is useful for studying groups of objects (for example, the moons of planets) and the other is suitable for exploring planets and the Moon. A mirror diagonal will help study terrestrial landscapes and correct the inverted image common in modern telescopes.
The Levenhuk Skyline BASE 80T is specially designed for beginners and is mounted on a classic altazimuth mount. This easy-to-use mount does not require special skills or knowledge. The mount is easily attached to an aluminum tripod. You can attach an accessory tray (included in the kit) on the tripod with adjustable legs.
