We are proud to present the Discovery line of optical instruments, produced by Levenhuk and sponsored by Discovery.
The Discovery Spark 506 AZ telescope with educational book is an achromatic refractor designed for beginners. It is an easy-to-use instrument. Furthermore, it is suitable for taking the first steps in the world of astronomy as well as for observing the Moon. In addition to practical applications, this tool also allows you to expand your theoretical knowledge! Indeed, the telescope is sold together with a colorful educational book about space. During the day, the telescope can be easily converted into a terrestrial spotting scope for studying natural landscapes and objects on the horizon.
The optics are made of glass, so the telescope produces clear and bright images. The achromatic optical design and anti-reflective coating of the lenses improve image quality by minimizing optical aberrations. For aiming the telescope, a classic altazimuth mount is used, which can be easily operated at any skill level. The mount is installed on a sturdy adjustable-height aluminum tripod. This allows every family member to find a comfortable position from which to observe the stars.
One of the advantages of the Discovery Spark 506 AZ is the rich set of accessories. In addition to the telescope, the colorful gift box includes two eyepieces with different focal lengths, a 3x Barlow lens, and other accessories. The illustrated educational book "Space. Non-empty Void" will answer the many questions of every aspiring space explorer, providing interesting information about the various celestial bodies.
