Levenhuk Blitz 80s PLUS Telescope
Levenhuk Blitz 80s PLUS Telescope is a small optical instrument for astronomical and ground-based observations. It is assembled according to the achromatic refractor design, has a short focal length and, as a result, a wide field of view. Since the optical tube is small, it is convenient to take the telescope with you on trips and to astrofests outside the city. The optics of the device are tailored for near space observations. It is good for observing the Moon, planets of the solar system, satellites of planets, meteors and much more. Deep space is also visible, but without much detail. In addition, the lens aperture is sufficient for astrophotography. The telescope is also effective for studying terrestrial landscapes, so if necessary, it can be used as a spotting scope. The optical tube is mounted on an equatorial mount. It is reliable, has a smooth ride, and is controlled manually. The tripod is made of aluminum and is highly stable. The height of each tripod leg can be adjusted. There is a shelf for accessories. The standard focuser allows you to install any optical accessories with a mounting diameter of 1.25 inches on the telescope.
