The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 115S telescope is a short focal length Newtonian reflector for deep space exploration. Thanks to its wide aperture, it has a high light gathering power and allows observing even faint stars. It is especially effective for observing nebulae, galaxies, star clusters and other objects beyond the boundaries of the Solar System. It can also observe planets, but its main field of use is the exploration of outer space.

It can also observe planets, but its main field of use is the exploration of outer space.
The kit includes two eyepieces; each eyepiece provides low-power magnification, which is optimal for studying large celestial objects. You can purchase additional short focal length eyepieces and increase the magnification up to 228x if necessary. The telescope optics allow observations at high magnification.
The telescope tube is mounted on an equatorial mount for easy tracking of astronomical objects. The telescope is easy to use. The movement of the optical tube is smooth and uniform. The mount is attached to an aluminum tripod. It is equipped with an accessory tray. The tripod legs are height adjustable. The telescope remains stable and easily adjusts to the height of the observer.
