Levenhuk Strike 1000 PRO Telescope
Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope. Objective lens diameter: 102 mm. Focal length: 1300 mm

This telescope is the most powerful model in the Levenhuk Strike PRO series. With its 4" objective lens and 51" focal length, this telescope can be used for both planetary and deep-sky observations. Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design allows the telescope to provide high-quality views and still stay compact and lightweight. You can take this powerful tool with you wherever you go; a waterproof case is already included in the kit. Additionally the focuser has the standard T-thread so you can use the telescope for astrophotography.
