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 discerning customer, as it eliminates the need to purchase additional components. This telescope is a fantastic choice for getting to grips with space: it allows you to observe Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Mercury. Uranus and Neptune are visible as bright points of light. The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 70T is suitable for observing almost all the deep-sky objects listed in the Messier catalogue, though not in great detail.
The telescope’s optical tube is mounted on an equatorial mount, which is excellent for observing the heavens. It takes a little practice to master the operation of the telescope and the mount, but this ensures simple and convenient location of astronomical objects. The mount moves smoothly and precisely; the optical tube is securely and durably mounted. The tripod is made of aluminium, with height-adjustable legs to suit the observer. It also features an accessory tray.
The accessories are the standout feature of this telescope model. They have been selected to make the most of this optical instrument’s full capabilities. Using a short-focal-length eyepiece in combination with the Barlow lens allows you to achieve the maximum usable magnification, enabling you to observe distant objects with great clarity and in full detail. The long-focal-length eyepiece, on the other hand, is better suited to studying large objects. The mirrored diagonal prism allows you to observe terrestrial panoramas as comfortably as possible.
