Levenhuk Skyline 120x1000 EQ is a Newtonian reflecting telescope. Its mirrors produce no chromatic aberration, which may be especially noticeable during observations of brighter objects with a refracting telescope. The long focal length of this telescope makes it the perfect choice for observations of planets, features of the lunar surface and binary stars. The large, 114-mm primary mirror gathers so much light (2.25 times more than its 76-mm counterpart) that this telescope produces very detailed views of bright deep-sky objects. Additionally – thanks to the capabilities of this telescope – you can even try your hand at astrophotography. The equatorial mount that comes with Levenhuk Skyline 120x1000 EQ makes this telescope even more practical and precise. Overall, this instrument will make a wonderful addition to the equipment of any amateur stargazer.
Features:
- Suitable deep sky objects study: nebulae, galaxies, globular clusters and faint stars;
- Fairly small overall dimensions for the focal length of 1000 millimeters (39.4 inches);
- Contrast and sharp images without distortion;
- Can be used for astrophotography.
The kit includes:
- Telescope optical tube (optical elements inside)
- SUPER 25 and SUPER 10 eyepieces
- Equatorial mount EQ1
- Aluminum tripod
- 2x Barlow lens
- User manual and lifetime warranty

and where can i buy it?
With the help of this telescope you will be able to observe: binary stars with angular separation of over 1.5", faint stars (up to 12 stellar magnitude);structure of sunspots, granulation and solar flares (with an aperture filter);
phases of Mercury;lunar craters (5 km in diameter);clearer view of atmospheric bands on Jupiter and the GRS, shadows cast by moons onto the planetary disk;Cassini Division in the rings of Saturn and 4-5 moons;
Uranus and Neptune as small disks with no details;tens of globular clusters, bright globular clusters are resolved into cosmic dust at the edges;
tens of planetary and diffuse nebulae and all Messier objects;
brightest objects from NGC;

brightest objects from NGC;
some details are resolved on the brightest and largest objects;
details are not resolved during observations of most galaxies.
Is there any additional information you might need?
Looking forward to your reply.
doing otherwise will lead to a significant image quality loss.
already center spotted?
Is there any additional information you might need?
The Moon, planets and their moons: Structure of sunspots, phases of Mercury, lunar canyons and craters (5.5 km in diameter), polar ice caps on Mars, as well as highlands during oppositions, more atmospheric bands of Jupiter, shadows from its moons on the planetary disk, Cassini Division in the rings of Saturn and five of its moons, Uranus and Neptune as tiny disks.
Stars: Binary stars with angular separation of 1.5"", faint stars up to 12 stellar magnitude.
Nebulae, galaxies and star clusters: Tens of globular clusters, diffuse and planetary nebulae, galaxies. All of Messier objects, the brightest NGC objects under good conditions, features of bright nebulae, galaxies, however, are viewed as bleak gray spots.
The maximum is 375 in.

The highest practical magnification of the Levenhuk Skyline 120x1000 is 230x. The highest practical magnification of the Levenhuk Strike 90 Plus is 180x. Is there any additional information you might need? Looking forward to your reply.
Two models - this one and Levenhuk Strike 90 PLUS... which one to choose? I'd like to observe planets and satellites (the Moon, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter). And one more thing... what else should I buy to get 'terrestrial' images?
The telescope comes in a box.

Looking forward to your reply.
2. The kit includes: the telescope tube, finderscope, tripod, equatorial mount, eyepieces SUPER 10 mm and SUPER 25 mm.
3. You will need a T-ring.
Thanks.
