The Levenhuk Skyline BASE 80S telescope is a Newtonian reflector with a 76 mm main mirror. This telescope is excellent for exploring deep space objects such as nebulae, galaxies, star clusters, double stars and faint stars. It allows you to observe almost all Messier objects, but not in detail. The Levenhuk Skyline BASE 80S telescope is an ideal reflector for the beginning astronomer who wants to explore the Universe.

One of the features of the Levenhuk Skyline BASE 80S is its altazimuth mount. This mount allows the telescope to be operated even by an inexperienced user. The mount is used to move the optical tube vertically and horizontally, like a spotting scope. A 6x magnification finder helps to aim the telescope at the desired objects.
Also worth mentioning is the extensive kit. When you buy a telescope, you receive two eyepieces with different focal lengths and a Barlow lens. You can combine the eyepieces to obtain the appropriate degree of magnification for each observation. Low magnification is useful for studying large nebulae, while high magnification is used for observing star clusters.
The aluminum tripod provides a stable position for the telescope even on uneven surfaces. You can install an accessory tray to store additional eyepieces, a compass, star map and other items. The tripod legs are adjustable in length.
