The Levenhuk New Skyline PLUS 90/900 EQ2 is a long-focus achromatic refractor featuring an equatorial mount. It is built for exploring our cosmic neighborhood as well as the deep sky beyond. You can study the Moon”s rugged terrain in detail, track Saturn”s rings and Jupiter”s moons, and check off every object in the Messier catalog. This telescope is a great fit for anyone interested in astronomy, and it also works well for astrophotography since you can attach a DSLR camera (an adapter ring is required).
High-quality optics
The fully multi-coated optics deliver bright images while keeping chromatic aberrations under control, which means fine details are easier to pick out. Two eyepieces, 10mm and 25mm, let you switch between different magnifications depending on what you are observing. A diagonal mirror makes viewing objects high in the sky more comfortable.
Advanced EQ2 mount
The sturdy EQ2 equatorial mount offers increased load capacity and good resistance to vibrations. It compensates for Earth”s rotation and allows you to track moving celestial objects smoothly and accurately, keeping them in the field of view even at high magnification. For maximum convenience, you can add an optional motor drive to the mount (sold separately).
Expanded capabilities
The telescope can be used for astrophotography, as the focuser has a T-thread for attaching camera equipment. The sturdy aluminum tripod features an adjustable height ranging from 710mm to 1230mm, ensuring a comfortable stargazing experience for the whole family. A spacious accessory tray keeps filters and eyepieces close at hand. The telescope is made from quality materials and will serve you well for years to come.
