Levenhuk Blitz 60 BASE Telescope
The Levenhuk Blitz 60 BASE achromatic refractor on an azimuth mount is a good choice as a first telescope. It only takes a few minutes to master the basics of control. There is no need to purchase any additional accessories - everything is already included in the package. You can observe the Moon, bright objects of deep and near space, and terrestrial landscapes. This telescope, balanced in terms of capabilities, cost and equipment, will be a wonderful gift for a person passionate about astronomy. All lenses of the optical design are made of glass and equipped with an anti-reflective coating, so the telescope produces a clear and precise image without distortion. The pipe is mounted on a fork azimuth mount, on the vertical axis of which there is a microscrew. It is used for more convenient and accurate targeting of objects. The tripod is made of aluminum and equipped with a shelf for accessories. If necessary, the height of the tripod legs can be adjusted. It is impossible not to say about the configuration. It's truly impressive and eliminates the need to purchase anything extra. There are several eyepieces for space exploration, an eyepiece for ground observation, a Barlow lens and a diagonal mirror. This allows you to cover all the needs of a novice astronomer.
