Levenhuk Blitz 80 PLUS Telescope
Levenhuk Blitz 80 PLUS telescope is an achromatic refractor for a beginner but ambitious user. On the one hand, this telescope is easy to operate, on the other hand, it allows for a wide range of observations. You can study not only the Moon, as in less aperture models, but also many planets of the Solar System, and even deep space. Also, this telescope can adequately prove itself as a spotting scope. Achromatic optics removes many optical distortions from the transmitted image, which improves the overall image quality and allows you to see more details. The lenses are made of glass and have an anti-reflective coating. The 80 mm aperture allows the optical system to collect enough light to observe many astronomical objects. And it is important that the package includes many accessories that will eliminate the need to purchase anything additional. The equatorial mount is manually operated using fine motion knobs. It allows you to accurately and smoothly guide objects across the sky with a minimum of effort. The tripod is made of aluminum and equipped with a shelf for accessories. The height of the tripod legs can be adjusted.
