Levenhuk Skyline BASE 80T Telescope provides a possibility to explore the outer space in all its diversity. Through this refractor, you can observe lunar craters with a diameter larger than 5km, Jupiter, Saturn and its moons, and phases of Mercury. It is also suitable for terrestrial observations. Due to its rich kit, you do not have to buy extra eyepieces or any other optical accessories. Telescope is an excellent gift for a beginner astronomer; it will bring lots of bright emotions to its owner.
The lenses in the telescope are made of glass. The outside surfaces are protected with an anti-reflecting coating that improves the image brightness. The optics deliver a sharp and contrast image and allows observing even dim objects in the starry sky. The telescope is mounted on a simple-to-use alt-azimuth mount. Even a kid can operate this telescope: to point an optical tube at the desired position, turn it along the horizontal or vertical axis. A mount is easily fixed on an aluminum tripod. It is sturdy and reliable. The tripod features adjustable legs. There is an accessory tray that can be attached to the tripod.
This telescope features an impressive kit. In addition to a traditional optical finderscope, the kit includes two eyepieces with a different focal length and a diagonal mirror. Use them to quickly prepare a telescope to different observations. An eyepiece with a long focal length allows for exploring an extended area of the sky (a planet with its moons), an eyepiece with a short focal length comes in useful for detailed observations of the planets or the lunar surface, a diagonal mirror is essential during terrestrial observations.
