Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 90 MAK Product description

  1. Maksutov-Cassegrain Optical Design: The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 90 MAK is a Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope, renowned for its compactness and ability to deliver incredibly sharp, high-contrast images. This design effectively mitigates common optical aberrations, making it an excellent choice for detailed observations of lunar craters, planetary features, and double stars.

  2. Versatile Observation: With its 90 mm aperture and 1250 mm focal length, this telescope is perfectly designed for both astronomical and terrestrial viewing. It excels in delivering bright, crisp views of celestial objects while also serving as a powerful spotting scope for observing distant land objects like wildlife or landscapes.

  3. Portable and User-Friendly: Mounted on a reliable alt-azimuth mount with an adjustable aluminum tripod, the Skyline PLUS 90 MAK offers stability and ease of use. Its lightweight and compact form factor makes it an ideal companion for travel and spontaneous stargazing sessions, allowing quick setup and comfortable observation anywhere.

  4. Enhanced Viewing Experience: The telescope comes equipped with fully multi-coated optics, ensuring maximum light transmission and superior image brightness. The inclusion of two Super eyepieces (10 mm and 25 mm) and a 6x30 optical finderscope enriches the viewing experience, providing varied magnification options and effortless target acquisition.

ABOUT THE LEVENHUK SKYLINE PLUS 90 MAK

The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 90 MAK stands out in its series as a premium Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope, offering a unique blend of compact portability and high optical performance. Unlike traditional refractors or reflectors, its sophisticated catadioptric design employs both mirrors and a meniscus lens to fold the light path, resulting in a significantly shorter optical tube that is much easier to transport and set up. This makes it an ideal instrument for urban astronomers or those with limited storage space who demand crisp, high-contrast views. Crafted with a durable metal tube, this telescope is built for longevity and stability. Its 90 mm aperture and 1250 mm focal length deliver powerful magnification, making it perfectly suited for highly detailed observations of the Moon, planets like Jupiter and Saturn, and even closer deep-sky objects. It also performs exceptionally well for terrestrial viewing, providing sharp images of distant landscapes or wildlife. The closed tube design naturally protects the primary mirror from dust and requires minimal maintenance, ensuring consistent, clear views.
