Levenhuk Blitz 70s BASE Telescope
Levenhuk Blitz 70s BASE is a short-focus achromat refractor with a wide field of view, perfect for travel. The small tube is complemented by a tabletop tripod, so the telescope takes up very little space both assembled and disassembled. This is a good option for observing from the balcony and outdoor astrofests. The device can also replace a spotting scope and help in studying terrestrial landscapes. The optical design uses glass lenses coated with anti-reflective coating. The objective aperture is 70 mm, so the telescope works well for near space and bright deep sky objects. The optical tube is mounted on an azimuth mount, which in turn is located on an aluminum tripod of a fixed height. Conveniently, the mount has a pointing knob - this greatly simplifies control of the telescope. The telescope comes with all the necessary optical accessories. There are eyepieces for astronomical observations, a wrap-around eyepiece for terrestrial observation, a Barlow lens and a diagonal mirror. The telescope does not require additional investment and is perfect for a gift.
