Levenhuk New Skyline Pro 16" Retractable Dobsonian
Levenhuk New Skyline Pro 16" Retractable Dobsonian
The Levenhuk New Skyline Pro 16" Retractable Dobsonian is a powerful Newtonian reflector telescope designed primarily for observing deep space objects. Thanks to its large aperture of 406 mm, it can collect significantly more light than smaller telescopes, allowing you to observe fainter galaxies, nebulae and star clusters in high detail. The focal length of 1830 mm provides sufficient magnification for detailed astronomical observations. The Levenhuk New Skyline Pro 16" Retractable Dobsonian telescope is mounted on a Dobsonian mount, which is known for its stability and very easy handling. The manual control allows smooth tracking of objects in the sky. The design is therefore particularly suitable for more experienced observers who want to get maximum detail from deep space objects. Compared to the classic model, the telescope is equipped with a retractable truss tube construction, which greatly facilitates transport and storage.

Optical design for astronomical observations
The Levenhuk New Skyline Pro 16" Retractable Dobsonian telescope uses a Newtonian reflector design with a primary parabolic mirror. The parabolic shape of the mirror helps to eliminate spherical aberration and allows for a sharp image even at higher magnifications. The optical elements are made of BK-7 glass and coated with an aluminium reflective layer with a reflectivity of approximately 92-95%. The large aperture of 406 mm allows you to capture a large amount of light for observing fainter deep space objects. This makes it possible to observe nebulae, star clusters, galaxies and fine details on the planets of the Solar System, for example.
Stable Dobson assembly
The Levenhuk New Skyline Pro 16" Retractable Dobsonian telescope is mounted on a classic Dobsonian mount, known for its simplicity and high stability. The mount allows manual operation and smooth tracking of objects in the sky. The construction is made of strong and well-treated wood, which ensures a long service life. The assembly is easy to set up and requires no complicated adjustments. This makes the telescope suitable for both beginner astronomers and advanced observers.
Levenhuk New Skyline Pro 16" Retractable Dobsonian Telescope Accessories and Extensions
Included in the package are 2 Plössl eyepieces - 25 mm for lower magnification and wider field of view and 10 mm for more detailed observation. The Levenhuk New Skyline Pro 16" Retractable Dobsonian telescope is also equipped with an 8×40 optical viewfinder, which makes it easy to focus on objects in the night sky. The 2" diameter eyepiece lift allows the use of a wide range of astronomical accessories. Adapter for 1.25" eyepieces increases compatibility with conventional eyepieces. Also included is a cooling fan for the primary mirror and a protective fabric cover for the tube. The design of the telescope is designed to be easily expandable with additional optical accessories to suit the user's needs.
