The lenses and mirrors feature a multi-coating that allows for maximum light gathering and increases their life span. The strong, lightweight aluminum tube is configured in an equatorial mount with slow-motion controls. You can also install the computerized equatorial drive system (purchased separately). It is equipped with graduated circles that, after a quick adjustment, allow you to locate objects by their celestial coordinates and track them with just a turn of an equatorial control. The height-adjustable tripod has a handy accessory tray where you can store all your tools. The focusing system features a standard T-mount, allowing you to attach an SLR camera with an adapter and use your telescope for astrophotography.
The Levenhuk Skyline PRO series is designed for advanced and demanding astronomers and includes a variety of models. All have in common the highest precision and reliability in observations and astrophotography and high quality materials and optics.
