Levenhuk Blitz 80 PLUS Telescope

1. Achromatic Refractor Design: The Levenhuk Blitz 80 PLUS features an achromatic refractor optical system, which utilizes a two-element objective lens to significantly reduce chromatic aberration, delivering crisp and clear images with minimal color fringing. This design is highly reliable and requires very little maintenance, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced observers.

2. Enhanced Optical Performance: With an 80mm aperture and 700mm focal length, this telescope provides strong light-gathering capabilities to reveal detailed views of the Moon's craters, Jupiter's main cloud bands, and Saturn's rings. The multi-coated optics ensure optimal light transmission and contrast for bright, sharp celestial observations.

3. Stable Alt-Azimuth Mount: The telescope is equipped with a robust alt-azimuth mount, allowing for intuitive and smooth movement across both horizontal and vertical axes. This user-friendly mount is ideal for tracking celestial objects with ease and also excels in terrestrial observations, providing a versatile viewing experience.

4. Comprehensive Accessory Kit: This model comes complete with a versatile array of accessories, including two eyepieces for varying magnifications (20mm and 10mm), a 2x Barlow lens to double the power, a 90° diagonal mirror for comfortable viewing angles, and a 5x24 optical finderscope for easy target acquisition. An adjustable aluminum tripod with an accessory tray ensures stable observations.
