The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 70T telescope is a refractor with an equatorial mount suitable for exploring both the planets of the Solar System and terrestrial objects. The extensive accessory kit will impress even the most demanding customer, as it eliminates the need to purchase additional components. This telescope is a fantastic choice for getting acquainted with space: it allows observation of Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and Mercury. Uranus and Neptune are distinguishable as bright points. The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 70T is suitable for observing almost all deep-sky objects listed in the Messier catalog, but not in detail.
The optical tube of the telescope is mounted on an equatorial mount, excellent for space observation. Some practice is needed to master the operation of the telescope and the mount, but it ensures simple and practical location of astronomical objects. The mount’s movement is smooth and precise—the optical tube is fixed securely and durably. The tripod is made of aluminum, with adjustable-height legs to fit the observer. It is also equipped with an accessory tray.
Accessories are the main feature of this telescope model. They are selected to enhance all the capabilities of this optical instrument. Using a short focal length eyepiece combined with the Barlow lens allows reaching the maximum usable magnification, which enables observing distant objects with great sharpness and in all their details. The long focal length eyepiece is more suitable for studying large objects. The mirror diagonal provides the opportunity to observe terrestrial landscapes in the most comfortable way possible.
