The Levenhuk Blitz 70 PLUS achromatic refractor is an excellent choice for budding astronomers. With this instrument, it is possible to observe the planets of the Solar System with their satellites, some deep-sky objects, and detailed images of the Moon. This telescope can also be used for terrestrial observations.
It is equipped with glass lenses with anti-reflective coating. The optics transmit a clear and sharp image, without optical distortions. The kit includes three eyepieces for space exploration and an erecting eyepiece for terrestrial observations, as well as a Barlow lens and a mirror diagonal to vary the magnification during observations. However, if the provided set is not enough, it is always possible to purchase additional accessories. The telescope features a standard 31.75 millimeter (1.25 inch) focuser, making it compatible with most accessories available on the market.
The equatorial mount is operated manually. For balancing, the use of a counterweight is necessary. Focusing is done via two slow-motion control knobs. The height of the aluminum tripod is adjustable. It is also equipped with an accessory tray.
