Levenhuk Skyline Travel Sun 70 Telescope
The Levenhuk Skyline Travel Sun 70 telescope is a compact refractor for long hikes and trips. It has a 40 cm long optical tube and a 70 mm aperture. The kit includes a comfortable branded backpack big enough for a telescope, a mount, a tripod and all the necessary accessories. This optical tool is suitable for observing planets and satellites, and also for viewing landscapes and architecture down to the smallest detail. Under ideal weather conditions, you will be able to see most of the Messier objects (details will be invisible), the Cassini Division, the rings of Saturn, and Jupiter's Great Red Spot.
This portable refractor comes with a special protective sunscreen. In good weather, you can take solar observations and see sunspots with your own eyes. You must be very careful when observing solar activity. Always make sure a solar filter is securely attached to the telescope tube. The filter should fit tightly onto the optical tube and completely cover the objective lens. When observing the sun, cover the viewfinder with a protective cap or remove the viewfinder to avoid accidental damage to your eyes.
The kit includes a diagonal prism that provides a vertical image (without distortion). Therefore, the telescope is also suitable for ground-based observations: it can be used as a powerful telescope. The kit also includes 67x and 20x eyepieces, a 3x Barlow lens, and a sunscreen. The maximum practical power of this telescope is 140x. A handy 5x24 finder allows quick navigation in search of an object observed in the night sky. You can get 200x magnification with "out of the box" accessories.
Levenhuk Skyline Travel Sun 70 is a telescope with a shortened and lightweight optical tube. It is installed on an altazimuth support with manual control. The telescope moves along vertical and horizontal axes with the help of a comfortable handle. This optical tool requires no setup, just mount it and you can start observing. You can adjust the height of an aluminum tripod from 40cm to 125cm so that astronomers of any height can use this tripod.
A small refractor with excellent optical capabilities would make a wonderful gift for a school-age child or adult astronomy enthusiast. It comes with a durable branded backpack that has special pockets for a telescope, tripod, and optical accessories.
CAUTION! Never look directly into the sun without a special protective sunscreen, or it may result in permanent eye damage, even total blindness!
