Levenhuk Skyline PRO Telescopes
Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality Levenhuk telescope!
Levenhuk Skyline PRO telescopes are designed for high-resolution viewing of astronomical objects.
With their precision optics, you will be able to locate and enjoy hundreds of fascinating celestial
objects, including the planets, the Moon, and a variety of deep-sky galaxies, nebulas, and star clusters.
These instructions will help you set up, properly use, and care for your telescope. Please read them
thoroughly before getting started.
CAUTION! Never look directly at the Sun – even for an instant – through your telescope or finderscope without a
professionally made solar filter that completely covers the front of the instrument, or permanent eye damage
may result. To avoid damage to the internal parts of your telescope, make sure the front end of the finderscope
is covered with aluminum foil or another non-transparent material.
Children should use the telescope under adult supervision only.
All parts of the telescope will arrive in one box. Be careful when unpacking it. We recommend
keeping the original shipping containers. In the event that the telescope needs to be shipped to another
location, having the proper shipping containers will help ensure that your telescope survives the journey
intact. Make sure all the parts are present in the packaging. Be sure to check the box carefully, as some
parts are small. No tools are needed other than those provided. All screws should be tightened securely
to eliminate flexing and wobbling, but be careful not to overtighten them, as that may strip the threads.
During assembly (and anytime, for that matter), do not touch the surfaces of the optical elements with
your fingers. The optical surfaces have delicate coatings on them that can easily be damaged if touched.
Never remove lenses and mirrors from their housing, or the product warranty will be null and void.
