Levenhuk New Skyline PRO 16″ Retractable – 406/1830 Dobson

Sixteen inches that can keep up: the foldable flagship

The Levenhuk New Skyline PRO 16-inch Retractable makes the largest Skyline portable: the same 406 mm parabolic mirror with 3364 times the light gathering power of the naked eye, in a collapsible truss tube. This makes an observatory-class instrument something you can take to the darkest spots in the Netherlands and beyond.

The greatest, made practical

Ingeschoven krimpt de buis fors; samen met de demontabele rockerbox blijft vervoer met twee personen goed te doen. Hoofdspiegelkoeling en de 8×40 optische zoeker zijn standaard, en een shroud rond de truss is de aanbevolen eerste aanvulling. De Plössl-oculairs van 25 mm en 10 mm leveren 73x en 183x.

For whom yes, for whom no

For: the demanding deep-sky observer who wants to combine sixteen inches with mobility. Not for: those who rarely transport their equipment; the fixed PRO 16 or the GSO 16 inch Truss are then the alternatives to compare.
