The Levenhuk New Skyline PRO 10 Retractable is a Dobson floor model with a 254 mm (10 inch) parabolic mirror and a focal brandlength of 1270 mm (f\/5). The tube is an open truss construction: for transport and storage it folds out and is almost a third shorter, and during viewing there is a fabric cover over the truss. It stands on a wooden base that you can adjust manually, with an 8\u00d740 optical viewfinder, a fine-adjustment focus ring, and a fan behind the main mirror. The New Skyline series from Levenhuk also includes the same mirror in a fixed tube; other models with a retractable tube are available here. collapsible Dobsons<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

From a dark spot: spiral structure in the Whirlpool Galaxy M51, the cigar-shaped M82 system with a dark lane across the center next to the round M81, and a dust lane along the core of the Andromeda Nebula; the entire system is larger than the image. With an UHC filter, the arcs of the Pleiades Nebula are visible as thin, twisted filaments. Hollows like M13 are broken up into loose stars in the core, the Ring Nebula M57 is a ring with a dark center and the Halley Nebula M27 shows its sand-like shape. The Orion Nebula extends around the four stars of the Trapezium, and the Pleiades fill up to 51x the entire image. Moon: at 51x the full moon, at 127x craters, mountain chains and the shadow line, and at 212x with a 6 mm eyepiece the small craters at the bottom of the large ones. Jupiter: cloud bands with color variation and small knots, the Great Red Spot and the shadow of a moon during a transit. Saturn: the Cassini division as a dark line in the ring and several smaller moons next to Titan. Nebulae and systems are seen with the eye in gray tones, not in color. From a city or village with streetlights, the moon, planets, double stars, and star clusters remain; nebulae and systems require a dark spot. The highest meaningful magnification is approximately 500x; due to the air above the Netherlands and Belgium, the limit in practice is between 200 and 250x.
