Levenhuk Blitz 114 BASE Telescope
Levenhuk Blitz 114 BASE is a Newtonian reflector with a 114 mm spherical mirror and a rich set of equipment. This is a good first telescope option for a novice astronomer who wants to observe not only near but also deep space. Through the telescope you can clearly see the Moon, the planets of the Solar System up to Saturn, globular clusters, diffuse and planetary nebulae, and the brightest objects from the NGC catalogue. Since the telescope is equipped with glass optics with anti-reflective coating, the transmitted image is clear, crisp and free from distortion. The package already includes the basic accessories necessary for observations: a Barlow lens and three eyepieces. If necessary, the telescope can be equipped with other accessories - the focuser supports any accessories with a mounting diameter of 1.25 inches. The fork azimuth mount is equipped with a microscrew, i.e., aiming at an object can be carried out very accurately. The aluminum tripod is equipped with a shelf for accessories; the height of the tripod can be adjusted.
