The important advantage of this telescope, which distinguishes it from similar models, is the wide range of accompanying accessories. In the box you already have everything you need for observations: eyepieces, a Barlow lens and a diagonal mirror are included. The telescope tube will surprise you, it is about half as small as that of the usual refractor telescopes.
The tube rests on an azimuthal mount and tripod. This type of mount is easy to use: to aim at the desired object, you only need to rotate it along the azimuthal and right ascension axes. It is compact and easy to set up in a few minutes. The tripod can be easily adjusted to the height of the observer. Thanks to its lightweight design, even a child can carry it. Levenhuk Skyline Travel 50 is a wonderful optical instrument for observations in the field. Both children and adults will love this telescope.
