The Levenhuk Blitz 70s BASE telescope is a short-focal-length refractor with a tabletop tripod. It is an excellent choice for small flats or as a travel telescope, as it is very compact. This model is extremely easy to use and the kit includes all the necessary accessories. It is an ideal telescope for observing the Moon, the planets of the Solar System or terrestrial objects. It is also possible to observe very bright deep-sky objects, though details will not be distinguishable.
This telescope is based on the optical design of an achromatic refractor. It is fitted with anti-reflective coated glass optics. The optics produce a sharp, clear image and offer a wide field of view, meaning this telescope can serve as an excellent alternative to a spotting scope when observing terrestrial landscapes. The optical tube is mounted on an azimuth mount with a convenient knob for adjusting the focus. The compact tripod is very stable, has a fixed height and is made of aluminium.
The kit includes three eyepieces, a Barlow lens and a mirrored diagonal. These accessories allow you to make the most of the telescope’s maximum magnification, so there is no need to purchase anything separately.
