Levenhuk Blitz 70 BASE Telescope
With Levenhuk Blitz 70 BASE it will be easy for a beginner to discover the secrets of space. This telescope was created specifically for those who have never previously been familiar with this optical instrument and are only taking their first steps in studying astronomy. The telescope is easy to control, it works well in near space, is able to show bright objects in the far corners of the Universe, and comes with all the necessary accessories. The optical design is an achromatic refractor with glass lenses, the optical elements have an anti-reflective coating, and the aperture is 70 mm. The lens collects light well, works well on ground objects and performs well in visual observations of space. The optical tube is mounted on a fork azimuth mount, which allows you to quickly point the telescope at the desired objects. A microscrew on the vertical axis makes it possible to carry out more precise aiming. The tripod is made of aluminum, it is reliable and stable. The height of the legs can be adjusted, there is a shelf for accessories. Please note: despite the fact that Levenhuk Blitz 70 BASE is an entry-level model, it uses a 1.25-inch focuser. This means that the telescope can be equipped with most optical accessories that are widely available on the market. With their help, you can expand your observational experience and increase the capabilities of the telescope.
