Levenhuk Skyline Travel Sun 50 Telescope
Refractor. Objective lens diameter: 50 mm. Focal length: 360 mmLevenhuk Skyline Travel Sun 50 is a compact entry-level refractor with quality optics and an extended kit. Even a school child can easily use this lightweight and convenient telescope: it is a simple and reliable model on an altazimuth mount with a durable aluminum tripod. The telescope will be ideal for observing the Moon and the planets of the Solar system, and also for landscape observations. The brightest deep space objects will appear as shining dots.
Levenhuk Skyline Travel Sun 50 is a portable solar telescope. This optical tool comes with a branded solar filter made of thick protective film. This filter is essential for solar observations; you must not observe the surface of the star and the bright sky area around it without the filter. When observing the Sun, cover the finder scope with a protective cap or remove the finder scope to prevent accidental damage to your eyes.
You must be very careful when observing solar activity. Always make sure a solar filter is securely attached to the telescope tube. The filter must tightly fit on the optical tube and completely cover the objective lens.
The telescope features a 50 mm aperture; the lenses are coated with multiple layers of anti-reflective coating. An included diagonal prism delivers an upright (undistorted) image that allows using this telescope as a spotting scope. This optical tool comes with all necessary accessories: two 18x and 45x eyepieces, a 3x Barlow lens, a diagonal prism and a solar safe filter. The kit also includes a 2x finder scope.
The telescope tube is mounted on a lightweight altazimuth mount. The optical tool is moved along vertical and horizontal axes with the help of a convenient handle. The height of a durable aluminum tripod can vary from 40 cm to 125 cm.
This model features a branded backpack for telescope storage. It will easily hold all the telescope parts and accessories. You will be able to assemble this optical tool in a few minutes. The telescope does not require setup, it is simple to operate, and all necessary accessories are included in the kit – you can start observations immediately after purchase.
