The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 120S telescope is a Newtonian reflector with a 114 mm spherical main mirror. It is suitable for observing the moon, solar system planets, nebulae, galaxies, star clusters and many other objects. Due to a large aperture, it can observe bright objects from the Messier and NGC catalogs. In outer space, the telescope helps you observe the polar caps of Mars, the climate changes of Venus, the rings of Saturn, the satellites of Jupiter and even distant Uranus and Neptune, but not in detail.

This telescope is ideal for beginners and experienced astronomy enthusiasts. The telescope is mounted on an equatorial mount, allowing you to quickly point it at objects and follow them even during long observations. It takes some time to master the operation of the telescope, but a beginner interested in astronomy is unlikely to consider this an obstacle. The mount attaches to an aluminum tripod; the tripod legs are height adjustable. An accessory tray is included.
The kit includes the necessary accessories for observations, so you don't have to buy any additional accessories. There are two eyepieces with a different focal length and a Barlow lens. They are used to obtain optimum magnification for observing various space objects. An optical finder provides 6x magnification.
