The Levenhuk Blitz 80 PLUS achromatic refractor is an excellent choice for beginners. This advanced kit includes everything you need for observing. This instrument allows you to observe the Moon and the planets of the Solar System, as well as deep-sky objects. The telescope produces bright, detailed images of the objects closest to Earth. It is also suitable for terrestrial observations, so it can be used in place of a terrestrial telescope.
This telescope is based on the optical design of an achromatic refractor. It is fitted with anti-reflective coated glass lenses. The optical tube is mounted on an equatorial mount, which makes prolonged observations more comfortable. The slow-motion control knobs allow for manual adjustment. The telescope’s aluminium tripod can be easily adjusted to suit the observer’s height. It comes with an accessory tray.
This telescope is also appealing for its accessory kit, which is more comprehensive than that of other similar models. It includes three eyepieces for space exploration, one eyepiece for terrestrial observations, a Barlow lens and a mirrored diagonal. This eliminates the need to purchase additional accessories.
