Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 120S Telescope 36-228x114

1. Newtonian Reflector Design: The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 120S is a powerful Newtonian reflector telescope on an equatorial mount, making it an excellent choice for observing both the deep sky and planets. Its large aperture gathers substantial light, revealing fainter celestial objects and intricate details on brighter ones.

2. Equatorial Mount (EQ1): Equipped with a robust EQ1 equatorial mount, this telescope allows for precise, smooth tracking of astronomical objects across the night sky. This feature is particularly beneficial for prolonged observation sessions and for beginning astrophotography, compensating for the Earth's rotation.

3. High-Quality Optics: Featuring a 114mm parabolic primary mirror, the telescope delivers sharp, high-contrast images with minimal chromatic aberration, a common issue in entry-level refractors. Its optical system is designed to provide clear views of the Moon, planets, and a range of deep-sky objects like nebulae and star clusters.

4. Comprehensive Accessory Kit: The telescope comes with everything needed to start observing, including two different eyepieces (KF 10mm and KF 25mm) and a 2x Barlow lens. This combination provides a wide range of magnifications from 36x to 228x, allowing observers to adapt to various viewing conditions and targets.

ABOUT THE LEVENHUK SKYLINE PLUS 120S TELESCOPE

The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 120S stands out in its series as a robust Newtonian reflector telescope built for aspiring astronomers seeking detailed views of the cosmos. Its 114mm aperture is significantly larger than many entry-level models, allowing it to gather substantially more light. This capability is crucial for observing fainter deep-sky objects such as nebulae and distant galaxies, while also enhancing the clarity and brightness of planets and the Moon. Equipped with a stable equatorial mount, the 120S enables precise celestial tracking, a key advantage over simpler alt-azimuth designs, making it ideal for extended viewing sessions and dabbling in astrophotography. Constructed with durable aluminum for both the optical tube and the adjustable tripod, it ensures stability and longevity. The telescope is specifically intended for astronomical observations, offering an immersive experience of our universe.
