Levenhuk New Skyline Plus 130/650 SQ1 Telescope

The Levenhuk New Skyline Plus 130/650 SQ1 reflector telescope is a Newtonian reflector designed for beginner and advanced astronomers. Its optical properties make it suitable for observing the Moon and the planets of the solar system, as well as for exploring deep-sky objects such as nebulae and galaxies. Precise tracking of celestial bodies is supported by the manual SQ1 equatorial mount. The telescope has an objective lens diameter of 130mm and a focal length of 650mm, which provides a clear and detailed image.

High-quality optics for detailed observation

The telescope is based on a parabolic primary mirror which, unlike common spherical mirrors, eliminates optical distortion and provides a sharp image across the entire field of view. The 130mm diameter aperture gathers enough light to observe faint deep-sky objects. In addition, all optical elements feature an anti-reflective coating that improves light transmission. The equipment includes two eyepieces, SUPER 10mm and SUPER 25mm, which offer 65× and 26× magnification, respectively.

Precise tracking and stable construction

The telescope is set on a manual SQ1 equatorial mount. Once properly aligned, this type of mount compensates for the Earth's rotation by moving on a single axis, which simplifies keeping an object in the field of view during longer observations. Controls for fine adjustment are used for precise aiming. The stability of the entire system is supported by a height-adjustable aluminium tripod. To make finding objects in the sky easier, the telescope is equipped with a red dot finder.
