The Discovery Spark Travel 50 telescope with educational book is everything a budding astronomer could wish for. A lightweight and compact instrument, it comes with a handy carry case, a tabletop tripod and other essential accessories, including the educational book ‘Space: Not an Empty Void’. Thanks to this colourful and entertaining encyclopaedic guide, you’ll discover useful information about the celestial objects visible through the telescope. The book has a softback cover, making it easy to take with you to astronomy festivals or on day trips, along with the telescope and its accessories.

The Discovery Spark Travel 50 is designed for observing the Moon and terrestrial objects. Its optical configuration classifies it as an achromatic refractor. The optical glass lenses have been treated with an anti-reflective coating, which enhances the telescope’s optical transmission properties and improves image quality. The short focal length provides a wide field of view, allowing you to cover a larger area with a single glance. The telescope’s optical tube is mounted on an easy-to-use altazimuth mount and can be rotated easily along both the altitude and azimuth axes.
