Description

Levenhuk Skyline Travel 80 Telescope is a small high-aperture refractor with coated optics, optimal for near-space and terrestrial observations. This is a great choice for beginner-level astronomers who are making their first steps in observations. Levenhuk Skyline Travel 80 is so easy to operate, even a kid can handle it.

The Levenhuk Skyline Travel 80 Telescope is perfect for observing the Moon and large planets of the solar system and, to a lesser extent, it is suitable for deep space observations, although it sufficiently captures bright galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters bright enough. We recommend performing all observations far away from the city lights. The telescope is convenient to take along with you on any trip due to its lightweight and compact design. A transportation bag that comes in the kit is large enough to fit not only an optical tube, mount, and tripod but also other optical accessories.

Eyepieces, a Barlow lens, and a diagonal prism are also included. Right “out of the box”, you get a magnification of 132x that allows you to study the lunar craters, Saturn, Mars, and the atmospheric phenomena on Jupiter in detail. The telescope will be a great replacement for a spotting scope as it produces a “terrestrial” (undistorted) image.

Notice that an altazimuth mount for the telescope is easy to operate. A tripod is made of aluminum and its legs can be adjusted to the height of a user. There is an accessory tray. The optical tube has a small compass designed for quick land navigation and searching for celestial objects on the skyline.

Questions and Answers
Daniel (2022.07.20)
Thank you for fast answering. But where can I find a similar prism? I search over the internet and didn't find something similar for sale.
Customer service:
Dear Daniel, you need to contact Levenhuk in your country and ask if they have the prism for this model that you can buy. If you still have any questions, please contact us: https://www.levenhuk.com/company/contact-us/
Daniel (2022.07.20)
One question, please: Is it possible to change the diagonal prism on this telescope? If yes, which type of connection has on the focuser side?
Thank you!
Customer service:
Dear Daniel, thank you fo your inquiry. We do not recommend to change the original diagonal prism. If your prism is damaged, it is better to change it to the same prism. Is there any additional information you might need?
