Discovery Channel informs, entertains, and inspires its audience around the world about the wonders of our planet, its diversity, and its surprises. Offering millions of people the chance to make new discoveries and satisfy their curiosity, Discovery provides an engaging mix of storytelling across multiple genres: science and technology, exploration, adventure, history, and a behind-the-scenes look at the people, places, and organizations that shape the world we live in.
We are proud to present the Discovery optical instruments line, produced by Levenhuk and sponsored by Discovery.
The Discovery Sky Trip ST70 with book is an extra-compact refractor telescope, perfect for first-hand experiences observing outer space. From the educational book 'Space. Empty not-empty', beginner astronomers will learn many fascinating facts about star observation and can immediately put what they have learned into practice. It will be possible to examine the Moon and planets, as well as Earth landscapes using the instrument as a powerful terrestrial spotting scope. Even the brightest deep-sky objects will be visible to observers.
The Discovery Sky Trip ST70 is easy to use: the optical tube is mounted on an altazimuth mount allowing movement up, down, right, and left. The telescope comes with many accessories: a Barlow lens, eyepieces of different focal lengths, an optical finder, a prism diagonal, and a smartphone adapter. Magnification can be adjusted to explore the beauty of space and take photos to capture the observation results. An adjustable-height aluminum tripod easily adapts to the height of any user.
Unlike other refractors, the Discovery Sky Trip ST70 stands out thanks to the small size of its optical tube. Compared to most similar models, its tube is half as long. As a result, this telescope is easy to carry and can even be taken on a road trip. The kit includes a specially designed backpack for safe transport and many other accessories. Another advantage for travelers: the setup is quick and easy.
