Description
Manual planetary and lunar viewing define the Levenhuk N 114/500 Skyline Base 120S AZ-2, a 114 mm spherical Newtonian reflector with a 500 mm focal length and listed f/4.38 optical ratio. Its AZ-2 alt-azimuth mount uses a manual altitude control, while the aluminum optical tube, 5×24 finder, SR4 and H20 eyepieces, 2x Barlow lens, aluminum tripod, and accessory tray support direct observation without batteries or electronic alignment.
The short focal length provides a broad visual configuration for suitable bright targets, while the manual alt-azimuth mount supports direct movement across the sky. The 1.25-inch focuser and supplied accessories require routine care to keep dust and moisture away from the optical path, and the reflector should be collimated and placed on a stable surface before detailed observation.
