The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 115S telescope is a short-focal Newtonian reflector for deep sky exploration. Thanks to its wide aperture, it collects a lot of light and allows observation even of faint stars. It is highly effective for observing nebulae, galaxies, star clusters, and other objects located beyond the limits of the Solar System. Planet observation is also possible, but it is an instrument designed for open space observation.
The kit includes two eyepieces, both with low magnification, optimal for studying large celestial bodies. If necessary, additional short-focal eyepieces can be purchased to increase magnification up to 228x. The telescope optics allow high magnification observations.
The telescope tube is mounted on an equatorial mount, which simplifies locating and tracking astronomical objects. The telescope operation is simple, and the optical tube movement is smooth and steady. The mount is fixed on an aluminum tripod. Equipped with an accessory tray, the tripod has height-adjustable legs. The telescope is therefore very stable and easily adaptable to the observer's height.
