Levenhuk Blitz 114s PLUS Telescope
Levenhuk Blitz 114s PLUS is a short-focus Newtonian reflector that can be used not only for visual observations of space, but also for astrophotography. This telescope creates a high-resolution image, works well for deep space objects, and can also be used to study the Solar System. Thanks to its compact size, it is convenient to take it with you on trips, for example to out-of-town astrofests. The optical system is based on a spherical mirror. The lenses are made of glass and have an anti-reflective coating. Up to the maximum magnification, the optics provide detailed and clear images without distortion. To control the telescope, an equatorial mount with manual control is used. It is mounted on an aluminum tripod. You can install a shelf for accessories on the tripod - it is included in the kit. The height of each tripod leg can be adjusted, so the telescope can easily be adapted to users of different heights.
