Although it is best suited for exploring deep space, you can also use this telescope to observe the Luma and planets of the Solar System. The kit includes two eyepieces, which can be interchanged to adjust the optics for observing different celestial objects. A 6x optical finder allows precise targeting of the desired areas of the sky.
This telescope is equipped with an altazimuth mount, which is easy to learn to operate. The Levenhuk Skyline BASE 100S is operated like a classic spotting scope by moving the optical tube horizontally and vertically. The mount is arranged on a standard aluminum tripod that allows the telescope to be positioned even on uneven surfaces. An accessory tray is included. The tripod legs are adjustable in length.
