The Levenhuk Blitz 80 PLUS achromatic refractor is an excellent choice for beginners. The advanced kit includes everything needed for observations. This instrument allows you to observe the Moon and the planets of the Solar System, as well as deep-sky objects. The telescope delivers bright and detailed images of objects closest to Earth. Furthermore, it is suitable for terrestrial observations, so it can be used instead of a spotting scope.
This telescope is based on the optical design of an achromatic refractor. It is equipped with glass lenses with anti-reflective coating. 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 aluminum tripod can be easily adjusted according to the observer's height. It has an accessory tray.
This telescope is also interesting due to its accessory kit, which is more complete than those of other similar models. It includes three eyepieces for space exploration, one eyepiece for terrestrial observations, a Barlow lens, and a 90° mirror diagonal. This eliminates the need to purchase additional accessories.
