Levenhuk Skyline Plus Mak 105 Telescope (Mak 102/1300 EQ, SKU: 74373)

The Levenhuk Skyline PLUS 105 MAK is the ideal instrument for those embarking on their journey into astronomy. Combining an exceptional optical tube in the Maksutov system with an equatorial mount, all mounted on a stable field tripod, this telescope offers unparalleled performance and convenience.

With a 102 mm aperture, the Skyline PLUS 105 MAK collects 28% more light than telescopes with a 90 mm aperture. Its long focal length of 1300 mm provides high magnification capabilities and ensures sharp, detailed images for both planetary observation and astrophotography.

Optical Tube:

The Maksutov optical system is highly regarded for its versatility, ease of use, and exceptional optical quality. This system is not only perfect for astronomical observations but also well-suited for terrestrial and airplane observations. The telescope employs excellent optics, guaranteeing sharp images across the entire field of view. Its construction includes a meniscus correction plate, a main mirror, and a secondary mirror placed on the inner side of the meniscus. These components work together to minimize coma and residual chromatic aberration, resulting in incredibly sharp and clear images. One of the notable advantages of Maksutov telescopes is their compact and lightweight design. Due to their significant focal length and low luminosity, these telescopes excel in planetary observations. Additionally, they perform admirably in urban environments, where the focus is primarily on solar system objects rather than nebulae.

Additional Advantages:

• Focusing: Unlike traditional external sliding focusers, the Skyline PLUS 105 MAK utilizes a micrometric screw that adjusts the position of the main mirror. This method offers a wide range of sharpness adjustments, allowing compatibility with various astronomical accessories and eliminating any clearance issues.
• T2 Thread in the Eyepiece: The eyepiece holder is equipped with a T2 thread (M42x0.75), enabling easy connection to your camera's bayonet mount (Nikon, Nikon One, Canon EOS, Sony α / A, Sony NEX / E, Olympus E / 4/3, Micro 4/3, Pentax K). This feature allows you to capture stunning images of the moon and planets, essentially transforming the telescope into a 1300 mm f/13 telephoto lens.

Mounting Parallactic:

The Skyline PLUS 105 MAK features a parallactic mount with micromovements, delivering exceptional performance for visual observations. The mount includes micromovements in both right ascension and declination and is mounted on a lightweight yet sturdy aluminum tripod with adjustable height.
